ABOUT THIS COMPETITION:

Do you have a story or an experience from your childhood you wish to share?  Is it about inclusiveness, discrimination, diversity, multicultural experiences or challenges? If so, Asian Community Impact Society (“AIS”) would love to hear your story.  

 

​We are looking for stories from the community that we can develop and form part of a children’s story book. This book will be shared with the community once it is published and will be written for primary grade level readers but will be meaningful to all readers.

The children’s story book is part of AIS’ ongoing work to share stories from Asians and

other visible minorities of their experiences living in Canada. We hope by sharing our stories with the next generation we will see a future world of love, kindness and understanding amongst all people, no matter their cultural background.
