 ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH - CFACI is a committee of interested
Canadians who are willing and ready to channel our energy towards
promoting Asian heritage. We are apolitical, non-partisan and
non-sectarian. The names of the committee members are listed
below.
OBJECTIVES:
To promote peace, harmony
and understanding among all Canadians. We hope to accomplish
this through various multicultural activities, especially those
involving the young. Through a major initiative like Asian Heritage
Month, Canadians come to appreciate Asian heritage and the contribution
of Asians to this country. We also hope to encourage young people
to develop to their fullest potential.
