This year’s theme (Asian heritage minister declared), "Passing it Forward: Culture through the Generations" invites Canadians to learn about the “achievements and contributions of Canadians of Asian descent that makes Canada a culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous as it is today”. This year’s ExplorAsians’ theme is "Strengthening Diversity through the Lens of Youth". A call for submission was made for immigrant and refugee youths to share their stories that shape their lives, and continue to shape their integration into their (new) community. There were many emotional stories, detailed pieces of artwork, and great photography on display at the Fredericton Public Library that helped others to better understand and learn how we can make our communities a better place. Madhu Verma, Founding Chair of AHSNB, welcomed dignitaries and attendees and spoke of the events that would be happening later in the month and the teams that make events like these possible. Speakers included: Minister Gilles LePage, Mayor Mike O’Brien, Executive Director of New Brunswick Multicultural Council Alex LeBlanc, and MLA Representative Brian Macdonald.
