The term "cultural mosaic" reflects Canadian social ideology regarding multiculturalism. Unlike a "melting pot" that emphasizes blending and abandonment of cultural heritage, a cultural mosaic describes a society in which cultural groups live and work together maintaining their unique heritages while being included in the larger fabric of society. 2, record 1, English, - cultural%20mosaic

[...] le «multiculturalisme» au Canada désigne la présence et la survie de diverses minorités raciales et ethniques qui se définissent comme différentes et tiennent à le demeurer. Sur le plan des idées, le multiculturalisme recouvre un ensemble relativement cohérent de notions et d'idéaux qui concernent la mise en valeur de la mosaïque culturelle au Canada. 2, record 1, French, - mosa%C3%AFque%20culturelle
