Asian Canadian Wiki, also known as ACwiki or ACWiki, is a website dedicated to disseminating Asian Canadian community, and is a database of all things Asian Canadian - from artists, scientists, leaders, to cultural centers, community organizations, and festivals.

The intent of this site was to gather like-minded Asian Canadians from arts and cultural communities to participate in a Asian Heritage Symposium in Montreal in 2010. As one of many involved and as part of this ACwiki, we all had, have incredibly extraordinary mothers who hae raised, guided, taught, worked, laughed, cried and brought us with our fathers and family, to this world. Within the interests, objectives, and goals before the symposium, Asian Heritage Month activities, and many other Asian Canadian initiatives, and organizations, self-representation was, is, and continues to be a key pertinent component of the Asian Canadian Wiki (ACWiki).

In 2010, there was no unified single database, contact organization, or centralized location with which to connect with the various artists and organizations for the Symposium. A resource was needed to locate, inform, and assemble Asian artists, organizations, centers from across Canada. Locating Asian Canadian artists, arts organizations, communities, and centers was a challenging process. We realized that connecting these communities required more research and development. At that time, there was no unified single database, contact, organization or central location to connect with the various individuals and organizations for the symposium. The symposium first began as a need to contact and inform artistic, cultural, and community-based organizations and individuals across Canada. Essentially, resources, contacts, organizations, etcetera, were gathered within our networking circle.

The AsianCanadianWiki.org was soon created by compiling renowned artists, established artist organizations, and re-usable third-party information into an online resource. Spearheaded by Festival Accès Asie, the site was created by a small team of dedicated volunteers to realize objectives for the National Asian Heritage Month Symposium.

Asian Canadian Wiki (ACWiki) aims to develop and provide access for all to connect, learn, discover, share, and exchange. Asian Canadian Wiki is the most comprehensive resource available that informs and connects all those who are interested about Asian Canadians. Our hope is that the site will have the necessary visibility and participation to foster connection, culture and community.
