Asian Canadian Wiki



Mandate

Asian Canadian wiki is a website dedicated to promoting Asian Canadian community and is a database of all things Asian Canadian - from artists, scientists, leaders, to cultural centres, community organizations to festivals.

Who Are We

We are a collective of like-minded Canadians who believe in the democratization and accessibility of information sharing.

Setup and ongoing guidance provided by David Mason of zooid organisation.

Why Asian Canadian Wiki has formed

Accès Asie, aka Montreal Asian Heritage Festival has identified a need to connect Asian Canadian cultural communities and artists who may be working in isolation, in order to encourage cross-regional, cross-provincial and cross-community exchanges such as resource sharing, collaborative strategies, touring possibilities, funding options and other future possibilities.

In September 2010, Accès Asie hosted a national Asian Heritage Symposium in Montreal. Building into, during and after the symposium in a participatory national momentum, Accès Asie initiated an Asian Canadian wiki to connect networks.

The symposium offered discussion and coaching activities led by speakers who are known for their leadership in the respective areas of cultural strategy, fundraising strategies and diversity-equity policy implementation.

asiancanadianwiki.org exists to facilitate communication, to further connections from the symposium and to cultivate a democratic information sharing network with Asian Heritage month organizations, artists and cultural organizations while increasing the profile and visibility of all Asian Canadians.
