This Saturday, Toronto will host ARC World, a vibrant festival organized by the Asian Roots Collective, at Kerr Hall on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus. The event aims to bring together people from all backgrounds to celebrate the richness of Asian culture.
The festival’s main attraction is a celebrity basketball game featuring Simu Liu and Jeremy Lin, promising an exciting showdown that will cap off a day filled with cultural exploration.
Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of Asian dishes, experience contemporary art, and listen to inspiring speakers who will share stories of perseverance and success.
Clement Chu, the festival’s organizer, hopes ARC World will encourage youth to get involved in their communities. The Asian Roots Collective, which started as a basketball club, now offers a range of programs from sports to coding, reflecting its commitment to community development.
