ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH
Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity for us to learn more about the many achievements and contributions of Concordians of Asian heritage who, throughout our history, have done so much to make Canada the country we know and love.
This month is a reminder for all Canadians to come together to combat anti-Asian racism and discrimination in all its forms.

Reimagining Chinatown
For Asian Hertiage Month, two-time Concordia grad Donny Seto, BA 04, MA 08, lecturer at Concordia's Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, talks about his work around Montreal's Chinatown. In 2018, Seto joined a group of concerned citizens who wanted to protect and reinforce Montreal's Chinatown. They formed the Chinatown Working Group, the launching pad for the Jia Foundation.
