SUMMARY:Exclusion: Beyond The Silence - Calgary Premiere
DESCRIPTION:The story of Exclusion recovered from Canada’s past. Don’t miss this extraordinary film during Asian Heritage Month. Limited engagement May 2\, 3 & 7. Visit CINEPLEX.COM for tickets. \nExclusion: Beyond the Silence is a documentary that reveals the human impact of a discriminatory immigration policy that caused lasting intergenerational trauma to Chinese Canadians\, their culture and family life. \nIt is the story of two granddaughters\, Keira Loughran and Helen Lee\, who set out to examine the legacy of their grandmothers\, Jean Lumb and Foon Hay Lum\, women who fought for reunification of Chinese Canadian families and helped pave the way for Canada’s policy of multiculturalism. \nIt’s an extraordinary untold story which serves as a timely reminder of the struggle\, sacrifice and the contribution made by countless Chinese Canadians to the fabric of this country. \n《排华法案》之百年沉默 这部长篇纪录片，揭示了加拿大“排华法案”这种歧视性移民政策对华人的深远影响。该政策造成加拿大的华裔家庭几代人的生活的创伤。影片讲述了林宝珠(Keira Loughran)和 李海伦(Helen Lee)的寻根之旅。她们的祖母林黄彩珍(Jean Lumb)和林煥喜(Foon Hay Lum)用他们那一代人华裔女性的不屈不挠精神，为加拿大华裔家庭再团聚奋力抗争，并成功的废除了《排华法案》。为加拿大华裔社区的繁荣稳定奠定了永久根基。并为加拿大的平权多元文化政策树立了历史丰碑。

SUMMARY:Eating Bitterness - Canadian Journey of Exclusion to Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is about the resilience of Chinese Canadians against the lasting oppressing impacts of the Chinese Exclusion Act (1923-1947) that created absences in Chinese Canadian communities\, such as generational severance\, lack of representation in leadership\, and erasure from the dominant Canadian narrative. This history has been omitted from Canadian history and continues to be primarily unknown. Highlighting key Chinese Canadian figures in the community who fought back against systemic racism through various interactive elements\, this project reflects on an important part of Canadian history and to solicit viewers to participate – how can they re-imagine a more inclusive future.  An invitation for all Canadians – What would Canada be without me and my family?

SUMMARY:FascinAsian Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Land Acknowledgement\n\n\n\n\n\nThe FascinAsian Film Festival acknowledges that we live and work in the territories of the Anishinaabeg\, Cree\, Dakota\, Dene\, and Oji-Cree Nations\, and the heartland of the Metis people. Treaty 1\, signed in 1871\, took this territory from seven local Anishinaabe First Nations to make the land available for settler use and ownership. We thank the First Nations\, Métis and Inuit communities that have cared for Turtle Island since the beginning. With this acknowledgment\, we remind ourselves of discriminatory\, racist\, and colonial practices that have and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples and communities across Turtle Island. \n\n\nFor more info about the films and ticket reservation\, please visit FascinAsian Film Festival 2024 – Calgary \n\n

SUMMARY:AHM in Schools
DESCRIPTION:During the Asian Heritage Month in May and around the Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27\, we encourage educators to utilize the following educational resources for school activities (Resources for Educators – ACT2ENDRACISM).  The purpose is to deepen students’ understanding of Asian Canadian history and experiences\, anti-Asian racism\, share stories that instill pride in students’ cultural heritage and promote positive identity development and a sense of belonging. \n  \n\n“Asian Canadian Perspectives: A Resource for Educators” – this resource supports culturally responsive and relevant learning\, central to provincial policies on equity\, diversity and inclusion. The resources are pathways to implement the Kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum\, specifically in Language Arts and Social Sciences.\n\n\n“Let’s Talk: Video Series About Anti-Asian Racism” (with discussion guides) –  The Video Campaign Project aims  to increse awareness and understanding of anti-Asian racism through providing historical and contemporary underpinnings of racism and discrimination. The videos and accompanying discussion guides range in use for grades 4+ and 7+.\n\n\nChinese Exclusion Act and its impacts and stories from “exclusion to inclusion” (under development).\n\n  \nTeacher training videos are available on the website (Resources for Educators – ACT2ENDRACISM) to assist in utilizing these resources effectively.  A limited number of honorariums is available to support schools in need of funding assistance.  The application form is embedded in the information sheet.
