May is Asian Heritage Month

The month of May declared Asian Heritage Month by the Government of Canada, is the time to highlight the contributions of Asian Canadians to Canadian society. This is the ninth year that Asian Heritage Month activities will be carried out in Manitoba.

Since the inaugural Asian Heritage Month in 1993 cities such as Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax have held annual festivities. In Manitoba an Asian Heritage Society of Manitoba consisting of representatives from the Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Indo-Chinese, Korean, Filipino organizations have planned numerous and varied activities to share the Asian cultures with other Canadians.

Congratulations to Dr. Won Kim, member of the Asian Heritage of Manitoba, in his recognition by the Government of Canada as one of the Exemplary Canadian Seniors.
