May marks Asian Heritage Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Asian communities and peoples with distinct languages, traditions and lived experiences that continue to shape our classrooms and our city.

By connecting classroom learning with community experiences, Asian Heritage Month becomes more than a moment of recognition. It becomes a chance to listen, to learn, and to create a more inclusive future together.

Students, educators and employees are encouraged to engage with stories that deepen understanding and honour the diversity that makes up our learning communities.

The Asian Heritage Foundation of Calgary has curated a comprehensive list of Asian Heritage Month events happening across the city:

Together, these events reflect the richness of Asian heritage and its ongoing contributions to Calgary’s cultural landscape, fostering connection, learning, and celebration across communities. To explore more and find event details, visit the Asian Heritage Foundation’s website.
