Welcome to the Revised Asian Canadian Writer's Workshop

This is the new Asian Canadian Writer's Workshop (ACWW). What is "Asian Canadian?" Canadians of Asian ancestry comprise the largest visible minority in Canada, at 11% of the Canadian population, and is the fastest growing. Most "Asian Canadians" are concentrated in the urban areas of southern Ontario, the Greater Vancouver area, Montreal, and other large Canadian cities. In Canada, the term 'Asian' is pan-continental, in contrast to the United States which uses a Sino-centric definition of "Asian". According to the Statistics Canada in 2006, East Asian and Southeast Asian population is 7%, South Asian population is 4%, and West Asians make up the rest of the total Asian population. If you're interested in Asian Canadian issues, this is the site to come to.
