Asian Roots Collective (ARC)

We are Asian Roots Collective (ARC), formerly known as the Canadian Chinese Youth Athletic Association (CCYAA). We are a 100% volunteer-run organization that delivers community youth and education programs, larger scale special events and custom collaborations that proudly connects our Asian heritage with popular culture as a means to unite our community and cultivate a sense of home. As a team of parents, students, professionals, creators, chefs, athletes, artists, and business owners and more, we look to elevate and showcase culture-defining Asians with the ultimate goal of inspiring the next generation in shaping their story of what it means to be unapologetically Asian in today’s world.
