Asian Heritage Month

Asian Heritage Month is celebrated in May in Canada and the United States to recognize and honor the contributions and cultures of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. It highlights the diverse histories, traditions, and achievements of individuals from various Asian backgrounds, including but not limited to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The month aims to promote awareness, education, and appreciation for the richness of Asian heritage and its role in shaping society. Events, activities, and educational initiatives are organized during this time to foster understanding and inclusivity within communities.
