Celebrate Asian Heritage Month – Asian Food & Drink Recipe Contest (May 14 – 30)
Hello PSAC Southwestern Ontario Members,
We’re excited to celebrate Asian Heritage Month with our community Asian Food & Drink Recipe Contest. Food is one of the most meaningful ways people share culture, memory, and identity. Across the vast and diverse continent of Asia, home to hundreds of cultures, languages, and culinary traditions, food reflects history, migration, family, and creativity. We welcome recipes from all Asian cultures, including South, East, Southeast, West, and Central Asia, and we invite you to share the dishes and stories that matter to you. This contest is an opportunity to honour that richness and celebrate the unique traditions that shape Asian communities.
