一班居住唔同城市嘅加國港人集合籌備依個「#IAmHongKonger」計劃。
我哋想呼籲加國港人嚟緊加拿大人口普查填寫香港人作為佢哋嘅種族身份，同埋填寫廣東話作為居家常用語言。
根據加拿大二零一六年的人口普查，至今有215,775名在香港出生的人移民並居住於加拿大。但現時並無官方統計顯示有關香港種族身份的數據，亦無正式承認「香港人」為種族身份。無可靠的統計數據，服務提供商，政策制定者和社區組織將無辦法為我哋提供適當的服務。
活動詳情請參考我哋嘅網站：
#IamHongKonger #IspeakCantonese
A community of Hong Konger Canadians is launching a #IAmHongKonger campaign. The nationwide campaign calls on the Hong Kong-Canada diaspora communities to claim their ethnic and cultural origin as “Hong Konger” in this year’s census to preserve their unique identity.
According to Canada’s 2016 census, there are at least 215,775 Hong Kong-born immigrants residing in Canada today, but no official figures track those of Hong Kong ethnic or cultural descent. The Canadian government has yet to officially recognize this identity. Without reliable statistics, service providers, policymakers and community organizations are unable to serve the needs of this unique population.
