In Canada, Edmonton's Asian Heritage Month was founded in May 1998 and officially proclaimed by its Mayor, Bill Smith. It became the first ever in Canada to have its event officially recognized by a civic and, later, provincial, government. Three years later, in December 2001, the Senate of Canada passed a motion officially designating May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada.
