My sister once received a message on social media from a BYU student she had never met. Before he asked her even a single question, he told her, “I think you’re so pretty.

Asian Heritage Month in Canada
May 10, 2021
Here, at
CanLit, we are proud of all the opportunities we’ve had to promote Asian Canadian Literature. In recognition of Asian Heritage Month, we’ve put together a post that highlights Asian-Canadian experience in Canada.
Â

We hope this post offers a resource for individuals to use to help them learn more about the context of Asian “Canadianess” in Canada and Canadian literature.Â
