In Canada, the month of May is Asian Heritage Month. Beginning in the 18th century we’ve seen immigrants come from many Asian countries to live in Canada and over time establish communities of their own unique cultures here in Canada. There are many prominent Asian Canadians that have contributed to Canada’s growth. Artists like Vivek Shraya campaign for LGTBQ+ rights, environmentalists like David Suzuki campaign for our planet, and rights activists like Chow Quen Lee help right injustices of our past. We’ve felt their effects of our Asian community members on our culture and history and are thankful to have them. For more info: https://lnkd.in/gf9U4Bx (Image from Canada.ca)

Had a fantastic morning working with a group of Kawartha Credit Union employees supporting the smile cookie campaign! We had a blast decorating cookies at a local Tim Hortons! It was great to connect with volunteers from Community Care Peterborough. The proceeds from the sale of smile cookies from the location we volunteered at will go to Community Care Peterborough. #communitysupport #volunteer #smilecookies
