==The Asian Heritage Society of Manitoba==

The Asian Heritage Society of Manitoba is an incorporated non-profit organization with members from the Asian Canadian communities. 

Each year the Society assesses the outcome of the previous year's activities and determines which projects will be repeated and new projects added. Projects organized by individual Asian Canadian groups for May are encouraged and will be advertised in the brochure as part of the Asian Heritage Month program.

==Who We Are==

The Asian Heritage Society is comprised of talented and dedicated individuals who help make Asian Heritage Month a success each year. In Manitoba our Asian Heritage Society consists of representatives from the Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Indo-Chinese, Korean and Filipino organizations.
