Canada's Cultural Salad Bowl

**** Canada is known as a *salad bowl* of cultures — a country where people

from all over the world come together while keeping their unique traditions, foods,

and celebrations. Each culture adds its own “flavour,” making Canada colourful, diverse,

and full of stories about belonging and hope. But how did this happen?

Why did so many people choose to come here? Historians often talk about *push*

and *pull* factors. 👉 *Push factors* are reasons people leave their home country — things

like war, poverty, or lack of jobs. 👉 *Pull factors* are what attract

people to a new country — such as safety, freedom, or opportunity.
