The Asian Heritage Society of Manitoba have been organizing Asian Heritage Month of May since 2002, shortly after December 2001, when Senate of Canada adopted a motion proposed by Senator Vivienne Poy to officially designate May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada. We plan to make May 2023 the best Asian Heritage Month yet, with a variety of performance and educational events that highlight the talents of the Asian communities in Manitoba. Community involvement is key to the success of our goals and we are reaching out to preferred businesses and organizations to be supporters and partners.
The Asian Heritage Society has successfully brought performers, artists, dancers, writers, musicians, and educators together – reaching approximately 3000 audience members and participants over the course of the month. We are now celebrating virtually during the pandemic and have the potential to reach more!
