This is YOUR School Library. We want all students and staff at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School to feel welcome when they come to the School Library.

Asian Heritage Month

May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada.

Millions of Canadians trace their roots to Asia and the many different nations, people groups and ethnicities of that vast continent. Asian Heritage is an incredibly diverse tapestry of history, art, religion and many other cultural pieces that have enriched our concept of what it means to be Canadian. Come down to your school library throughout the month of May to learn more.

Beltane

Beltane is the ancient Celtic festival marking the beginning of summer. Bealtaine, (or various other spellings) is old Irish for “bright fire” or “mouth of fire.” On Beltane great bonfires may be lit, so it also known as the Fire Festival. Beltane takes place on May 1st, although celebrations may take place in the days leading up to and following that. Beltane is celebrated in Ireland, Scotland and in other places where people have tried to revive Celtic festivals and observances. Remnants of Beltane traditions can be seen in many May Day festivals, including parts of Canada, such as Newfoundland.
