2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the mass exodus of Vietnamese refugees to Canada, and particularly to Montreal. It follows the capture of Saigon on April 30, 1975 by North Vietnamese troops, and the flight of two million Vietnamese in the decade that followed. The migratory flow has never ceased since. These are no longer refugees, but migrants in search of a more promising future. The profile of the Montreal community of Vietnamese origin has diversified. Many of them were born here.
Over the past 50 years, the community has quietly but deeply taken root. Today, it can be found in almost every sphere of activity in Montreal’s civic life. In turn, to mark this 50th anniversary, we want to mark our presence on this territory by building our home, the one where we welcome our relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbors.
