The intent of this site was to gather like-minded Asian Canadians from arts and cultural communities to participate in a [http://asiancanadianwiki.org/wiki/National_Asian_Heritage_Symposium_2010 Asian Heritage Symposium in Montreal] in 2010. Within the interests, objectives and goals before the symposium, Asian Heritage Month activities, and many other Asian Canadian initiatives, and organizations, self-representation was, is, and continues to be a key pertinent component of the Asian Canadian Wiki (ACWiki). | The intent of this site was to gather like-minded Asian Canadians from arts and cultural communities to participate in a [http://asiancanadianwiki.org/wiki/National_Asian_Heritage_Symposium_2010 Asian Heritage Symposium in Montreal] in 2010. As one of many involved and as part of this ACwiki, we all had, have incredibly extraordinary mothers who hae raised, guided, taught, worked, laughed, cried and brought us with our fathers and family, to this world.Within the interests, objectives and goals before the symposium, Asian Heritage Month activities, and many other Asian Canadian initiatives, and organizations, self-representation was, is, and continues to be a key pertinent component of the Asian Canadian Wiki (ACWiki). | ||
In 2010, there was no unified single database, contact organization or centralized location to connect with the various artists and organizations for the Symposium. A resource was needed to locate, inform and assemble Asian artists, organizations, centres from across Canada. Locating Asian Canadian artists, arts organizations, communities and centres was a challenging process. We realized that connecting these communities required more research and development. At that time there was no unified single database, contact, organization or central location to connect with the various individuals and organizations for the symposium. The Symposium first began as a need to contact and inform arts, cultural and community based organizations and individuals across Canada. Essentially, resources, contacts, organizations etc., were gathered within our networking circle. | In 2010, there was no unified single database, contact organization or centralized location to connect with the various artists and organizations for the Symposium.
