What does "multicult" mean in Canadian slang?
The structure is a clipped shortening of "multicultural" or "multiculturalism," dropping the ending syllables to create a quicker, more casual noun or adjective. It is used in Canada, where official multiculturalism is a national policy and point of pride, to describe anything reflecting or involving multiple cultural backgrounds, such as neighborhoods, festivals, workplaces, or policies. People typically say "Toronto is very multicult" or "I love the multicult vibe of this city."
Examples
Toronto is a very multicult city.
