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. Locating Asian Canadian artists, arts organizations, communities and centres was a challenging process. We realized that connecting these communities required more research and development. | 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.

The asiancanadianwiki.org was soon created by compiling renowned artists, established artist organizations, and re-usable third-party information into a online resource. Spearheaded by Festival Accès Asie, the site was created by a small team of dedicated volunteers to realize objectives for the National Asian Heritage Month Symposium. | The asiancanadianwiki.org was soon created by compiling renowned artists, established artist organizations, and re-usable third-party information into a online resource.
