在加拿大，五月是亚裔传承月，这是一个认可和庆祝亚洲人和社区丰富多元文化、历史和贡献的时刻，包括形成亚洲移民的多种身份、传统和经历。

在卡尔加里教育委员会，这个月提供了反思、学习和成长的时机。这是一个深化我们对亚洲学生、员工和家庭多元经历理解的机会，同时庆祝他们为我们的教室和社区带来的丰富贡献。

加拿大著名日裔作家小川喬依提醒我们：“当我们回顾过去的故事时，我们发现了引导我们前行的路径。” 她的话强调了真正的进步根植于了解塑造我们的历史。通过认可和从我们的集体历史中学习，我们打下了一个更包容和公正未来的基础。

亚裔传承月邀请我们庆祝和赞扬喜悦、韧性和才华的故事，同时反思亚裔学生、员工和家庭在我们的学校和工作场所中如何被看待和支持。这个月，以及每个月，我们都向加强和丰富我们学习社区的贡献致敬。

考虑到最近在温哥华发生的悲剧事件，我们对哀悼的家庭和社区表示慰问。

​​​​​​​May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of Asian peoples and communities, encompassing the many identities, traditions, and experiences that shape the Asian diaspora.

At the Calgary Board of Education, this month offers a time for reflection, learning, and growth. It provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the diverse experiences of Asian students, staff, and families, while celebrating the ways in which they contribute to the richness of our classrooms and communities.

Joy Kogawa, a renowned Canadian author of Japanese descent, reminds us: “As we reflect on the stories of the past, we uncover the pathways that guide us forward.” Her words highlight that true progress is rooted in understanding the histories that have shaped us. By recognizing and learning from our collective past, we lay the foundation for a more inclusive and just future.

Asian Heritage Month invites us to celebrate and uplift stories of joy, resilience, and brilliance, while reflecting on how Asian students, staff, and families are seen and supported in our schools and workplaces. This month, and every month, we honour the contributions that strengthen and enrich our learning communities.

In recognition of recent tragic events that took place in Vancouver, our thoughts are with the families and community who are in mourning.​
