Celebrate Asian Heritage Month This Weekend

May 12, 2012:  Asian Heritage Month 

What:       Celebrating Achievement and Recognizing Partnerships
Asian Heritage Month, duly recognized in 2002 by the Government of Canada, offers the opportunity to celebrate the contributions that Asian Canadians have made towards the growth and prosperity of Canada. Since then, communities across the country have been organizing annual festivities to recognize this important part of our Canadian heritage. 

This year’s theme “Celebrating Achievement and Recognizing Partnerships”, will allow the opportunity to appreciate the contributions made by all Asian communities and in addition the chance to highlight South Asian Canadians. 

Immediately following the event at approximately 7:00 p.m., an informal reception with refreshments will be held at ‘Haandi Restaurant’ located at 1401 Gerrard Street East, Toronto. 

For further information on this event and to confirm your attendance, please contact Victoria Shaw, Divisional Policing Support Unit directly at 416-808-0119, or via email victoria.shaw@torontopolice.on.ca.
