TORONTO, Dec. 2, 2024 /CNW/ - In a momentous occasion for Canada, today marks the commencement of the inaugural Christian Heritage Month. This special month is dedicated to recognizing the significant role that Christian faith, principles, and contributions have had in shaping the nation's fabric.

Christian Heritage Month serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring values that have influenced the course of Canada's history. Love, compassion, and justice, principles deeply rooted in the Christian faith, have left an indelible mark on the nation's identity.
