Asian Heritage Month offers an opportunity to grow our awareness about the contributions of Canadians of Asian descent who, for over two centuries, have done so much to contribute to make Canada a country worth living in.
It is also a reminder for us to come together to fight Anti-Asian hate, racism and discrimination.
