“TASTE OF ASIA” is an annual multicultural event hosted by the Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham (FCCM), the Association of Progressive Muslims of Ontario (APMO) and the Town of Markham.
This year, we are proud to announce that Canadian Tamil Congress will be joining us as a co-host. The event during the SARS outbreak with a mandate of boosting the local economy.
First introduced in 2003,
the Taste of Asia festival provided a platform for the community to promote the multicultural mosaic of Canada and create harmony among various cultural groups through an event that fostered mutual respect and co-operation.
Through two days of non-stop multicultural performances and over 150 street vendor booths operated by different cultural groups, last year’s event was an overwhelming success, drawing more than 100,000 participants. With more exciting events planned for the coming year, the 2010 Taste of Asia festival will be the most successful celebration of harmony and culture in its history.
