The 21st Asian Heritage Month Gala organized by the Canadian Multicultural Council - Asians in Ontario (CMC-AO) was an opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural heritage, longstanding traditions, and remarkable contributions of Asian communities across Ontario and Canada.

CMC-AO plays a vital role in fostering unity, promoting cultural understanding, and strengthening the vibrant multicultural fabric that defines our province. CMC-AO has created a platform that brings together diverse communities, encourages collaboration, and inspires future generations to take pride in their heritage while contributing to a more inclusive and harmonious society.

As we celebrate Asian Heritage Month in May, let us reflect on the achievements of Asian Canadians and reaffirm our shared commitment to equity, respect, and opportunity for all.

Congratulation to Dr. Cindy Gouveia , Venerable Chuehfan, Paul Nguyen, Nina Lee Aquino, Ivan Sharma, Crystine Zhang, Tracy Wong, and the other outstanding Asian awards recipients for their contribution to the Asian community and Ontario.

The Finch West LRT (Line 6) opens Dec. 7. Proud to see the Jane-Finch community featured in the Toronto Star talking about this game-changing connection. Check out my comments in the article:

Start of Finch West LRT promises to bring hope for the area’s future — but some locals aren’t so sure https://t.co/DhLJnnzl9f

Rest in peace, Beverly Thomson (Apr. 15, 1964 – Sept. 14, 2025). The legendary CTV anchor came to Jane & Finch nearly 20 years ago, in August 2005, to film a live Canada AM segment. She was as kind and funny as ever. A true pro and a wonderful person.

#Toronto’s Vietnamese community is nearly 100,000 strong, and I was proud to join them to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Journey to Freedom Day, which marks the exodus of Vietnamese refugees from the aspiring democracy of South Vietnam.

Together, we acknowledge & thank 🇨🇦 for welcoming #BoatPeople, including my parents, and affirm our commitment to defending democracy and standing up to the oppression & evil of radical ideologies and communism.
