Embarking on a poignant literary exploration of Canada’s historical tapestry, this year’s festival examines the challenges and successes of the meaning of redress.  Join us for a compassionate and informative literary dialogue, where writers will explore the importance of amplifying Asian Canadian voices, promoting cultural understanding, and fostering a society that embraces diversity with open arms. This literary festival is an invitation to collectively embark on a journey of reconciliation, where acknowledgment, education, and empathy pave the way toward a more equitable and inclusive Canada.
