Canadian Immigrants Day is observed on May 22 every year. The holiday is meant to celebrate Canadians who immigrated to the United States. Citizens of the two neighboring countries have always found it easy to visit each other’s countries. In the early days of the two nations, Canadian immigrants mostly crossed the border for better job opportunities in factories. As the years passed, the profile of the average Canadian changed with the improvement in living standards in Canada. Today, many Canadian immigrants form an integral part of many industries across the United States. Actors Nathan Fillion and Sandra Oh are two famous Canadian immigrants.

World Bee Day
World Bee Day is observed across the world on May 20. On this day, beekeeping events are held to educate the general public about the importance of bees and beekeeping. There is a special emphasis on the role of bees as pollinators and how they help to revive forest cover. Because the bee population is under threat, World Bee Day informs us how to protect bees and other pollinators. The Slovenian Beekeepers’ Association took the initiative for World Bee Day, which is now celebrated by environmentalists all over the world.
