CBC has a new and recently debuted national Asian Heritage Month website.
The month of May is Asian Heritage Month. This month is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the rich history of Asian Canadians and their contributions to our country. Since its inception in Toronto in 1993, cities across Canada including Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver have been holding annual festivities to recognize Asian Heritage Month.CBC invites you to take part in events that commemorate Asian Canadian history and to reflect on the vital social, cultural, economic and political legacies of communities that continue to shape Canada.
Check out the national calendar of events, watch and listen to CBC programming, view photo galleries, and submit your own family or event photos and community events for inclusion on the site. The site also includes a page devoted to Japanese-Canadian activist, poet, scholar and teacher Roy Miki who will be honoured at Tracing the Lines: A Symposium on Contemporary Poetics and Cultural Politics. (Vancouver, May 28 to 31) Also check out From CBC Archives, a blog that delves deep into the CBC media vaults, written by media archivist wunderkind and sensational dresser Anu Sahota.
So go visit CBC's Asian Heritage Month page already ... and tell 'em Schema sent you.
