Along about the same time, impressario Bernard Nguyen initiated the organization of a festival promoting multidisciplinary artists of Asian descent and approached Janet to help conceive the project. Undaunted by the leg-brace and cane which she was forced to use at the time, the ever-prolific Janet agreed and the Montreal Asian Heritage Festival was born. Bernard left soon after leaving the reins to Janet who indefatigably carried on running the entire festival out of her bedroom for the first seven years. Her efforts were not in vain. In 2002, for her contribution to the arts and dedication to the community through the festival, Janet was presented with the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award. | Along about the same time, impressario Bernard Nguyen initiated the organization of a festival promoting multidisciplinary artists of Asian descent and approached Janet to help conceive the project.

==== 2013 Presentation by Janet Lumb on the Asian Canadian Wiki at Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library at U of T==== | |||
Meeting notes: | |||
Presentation will be based on ancestry, culture and community. I will speak about who I am, my mother, Asian Heritage Month, Festival Accès Asie, cultural politics, and the Asian Canadian Wiki in 2009 that was created to engage community participation in the national Asian Heritage Month Symposium in 2010. The Asian Canadian Wiki was created in the context of the democratization of knowledge/ technology, citizen participation, popular education, opensource, blogging and Wikipedia. With the phenomena of living globally in our hands and homes, virtual realities and international migrations, culture and community plays an even more pertinent role in the 21st century. | |||

Peter Jackson’s definition of cultural politics: | |||
“the domain in which meanings are constructed and negotiated, where relations of dominance and subordination are defined and contested,” papers in this session will discuss how understandings of exclusion, fragmentation, and disconnect intersect with culturally constructed social divisions such as ethnicity, race, gender, nationality, religion, class, age-grade, and/or sexuality. | |||

Citizen participation Sherry Arnstein | |||
Sherry Arnstein discusses eight types of participation in A Ladder of Citizen Participation (1969). Often termed as "Arnstein's ladder", these are broadly categorized as: | |||
Citizen Power: Citizen Control, Delegated Power, Partnership. | |||
Tokenism: Placation, Consultation, Informing. | |||
Non-participation: Therapy, Manipulation. | |||
citizen participation: redistribution of power that enables the have-not citizens, presently excluded from the political and economic processes, to be deliberately included in the future. | |||
