− | === 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.

− | Accès Asie is hosting a national Asian Heritage Symposium from Fri., Sat. and Sun. Sept. 17, 18 & 19, 2010 in Montreal. Building into, during and after the symposium in a participatory national momentum, Accès Asie initiated an Asian Canadian wiki to connect networks.
