About this event
The Asian Heritage Foundation (AHF) is hosting the ExplorAsian Cultural Bus Tours for Asian Heritage Month 2023. These Bus Tours are one of numerous activities offered by AHF member organisations throughout the month of May to celebrate Asian Heritage in Calgary.
Join us for a day long interactive bus tour for Calgarians to explore, experience and engage with Calgary’s many Asian cultures! The Tour is your opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes look at the rich customs & traditions of diverse Asian communities.
Participants will explore two culturally significant areas and experience the cultural practices, food, performances and more of up to 5 different Asian Canadian communities per tour. Each Tour stop will include an approximately 1-1.5 hour tour presentation at each location to provide greater depth, history and understanding of each host’s culture.
Your registration fee includes the bus ride to all tour locations, activities and performances at each tour stop, refreshments, a box lunch as well as snacks for the day. Bus Tour Registration closes on May 24 or until the tour sells out, whichever comes first.

About the organizer
As the largest pan-Asian organization in Alberta, the Asian Heritage Foundation supports and develops community through two key objectives:
- Fostering awareness of the participation and contributions of Asian Canadians
- Raising awareness and addressing issues that impact Asian Canadians through advocacy, mainstreaming initiatives, policy, and education
Throughout the month of May, Calgarians join with cities across the country – Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and more – to reflect on and celebrate the diversity and prosperity of our city and our country. AHF will continue to promote unity and cooperation among Asian Canadian communities, as well as between the broader citizenry of Calgary, to develop relationships that will lead and drive future initiatives.
