Schema Magazine is an online magazine founded in 2003.
In 2003, [http://asiancanadianwiki.org/wiki/Alden_E._Habacon Alden E. Habacon], Schema Magazine's founder, began to rethink the idea of the ethno-cultural "mosaic" and concluded that it was an obsolete concept in what he calls Canada's Diversity 2.0. With a handful of like-minded Asian Canadian creative leaders and the support of some of Vancouver's influential mentors, we envisioned a magazine about today's real-life diverse mainstream, aimed at those who recognized that they were informed by their ethnicity, but no longer defined by it. We wanted our magazine to really reflect us—and our cosmology as the most culturally mobile, ethnically diverse, globally connected generation of Canadians to date. We wanted to illuminate the complex diversity we intuitively live everyday. After all, there were cultural spaces to explore, the results of immigration, family roots and our connection to diverse cities all over the world.
