May is Asian Heritage Month

May is Asian Heritage Month, a month to celebrate Asian Canadians and to acknowledge their achievements and unique contributions to our history.

Sadly, we live in a time of increased anti-Asian racism and violence. For this reason, we’ve also included anti-racism resources in our list below. This Asian Heritage Month, let’s learn together and commit to fight against anti-Asian racism.

We invite you to take some time to explore some of these curated resources about Asian Canadian history and heritage:
