Leanne Riding is co-president and Tzhe Lam is also on the ACWW board.

Ricepaper Magazine is also a recipient of the Gung Haggis Fat Choy Robbie Burns Chinese New Year Dinner.

Great Fun with poetry readings and my favorite Scottish born Chinese-Canadian poet Fiona Tin Wei Lam. All are invited!

Come and celebrate the issue launch of 14.4: the Gender issue with the staff and contributors of Ricepaper Magazine, your favourite Asian-Canadian arts and culture literary magazine.
