February 11: History of our Migration
Did you know that Filipinos are spread in 186 countries all over the world? ...there used to be a Filipino movie house on Queen Street West in the 1950's? ...we are now the 3rd largest visible minority community in Canada? This discussion explores the patterns of Filipino migration, and the reasons behind it. It also includes the 3 waves of Filipino migration to Canada, and the role of Filipino youth developing our community here.

March 25: Philippine History and Politics
Why does our community have yearly celebrations around June 12? What was the Philippine-American War? Who's GMA and why are the Filipino people trying to oust her? What does Philippine history have to do with us?

April 15: Racism/Anti-Racism 101
Some say they feel racism in their everyday lives; others say they've never experienced it at all. What exactly is racism and what role does it play in the lives of Filipino Canadian youth? What does racism mean to you?

April 29 (tentative date only): Filipino Canadian Youth Consultation
Identity. Migration. Alienation. Culture shock. Racism. ESL classes. Low-wage work. These words pop up when Filipino youth are asked about what factors affect their lives. We want to hear from you. Join us at this one day consultation and let's come up with ideas on how we can collectively work to address these issues.
