Cultural Respect in Canada

Canada's languages, identities and regional histories vary sharply. Ask rather than assume how someone identifies, and treat Québec, the Prairies and Indigenous communities as distinct contexts.

Why go

Respectful conversation starts with recognising differences within Canada. The Métis have a distinct history tied especially to the Prairies, while Québec has its own French-language public life. Avoid assigning language, ancestry or political views to a person from appearance or birthplace.

Useful to know

  • Use a person's or community's own name where you know it; First Nations, Inuit and Métis are distinct peoples.
  • In Québec, allow for French-language signs and services rather than assuming an English-first setting.
  • When visiting a private home, follow your host's lead about removing shoes.
