Pillar Nonprofit Network invites you to a CommUNITY Pop-Up Kitchen Spotlighting Asian Heritage Month, at Innovation Works London.
Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity for us to learn more about the many achievements and contributions of Canadians of Asian heritage who, throughout our history, have done so much to make Canada the country we know and love.
The theme for Asian Heritage Month 2022 is “Continuing a legacy of greatness.” This month is a reminder for all Canadians to come together to combat anti-Asian racism and discrimination in all its forms.
