Kim Phuc

Kim Phuc is a Vietnamese-Canadian best known as the child depicted in the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken during the Vietnam War on June 8, 1972. The iconic photo taken in Trang Bang by AP photographer Nick Ut shows her at about nine years of age running naked on a road after being severely burned on her back by a South Vietnamese napalm attack.
As a young adult, while studying medicine, Phúc was removed from her university and used as a propaganda symbol by the communist government of Vietnam. In 1986, however, she was granted permission to continue her studies in Cuba. She had converted from her family's Cao Dai religion to Christianity four years earlier.Phạm Văn Đồng, the then–Prime Minister of Vietnam, became her friend and patron. 
After arriving in Cuba, she met Bui Huy Toan, another Vietnamese student and her future fiancé. In 1992, Phúc and Toan married and went on their honeymoon in Moscow. During a refuelling stop in Gander, Newfoundland, they left the plane and asked for political asylum in Canada, which was granted. The couple now lives in Ajax, Ontario, and have two children. In 1996, Phúc met the surgeons who had saved her life. The following year, she passed the Canadian Citizenship Test with a perfect score and became a Canadian citizen.
In 1997 she established the first Kim Phuc Foundation in the US, with the aim of providing medical and psychological assistance to child victims of war.
On December 28, 2009, National Public Radio broadcast her spoken essay, "The Long Road to Forgiveness," for the "This I Believe" series. In May 2010, Phúc was reunited by the BBC with ITN correspondent Christopher Wain, who helped to save her life. On May 18, 2010, Phúc appeared on the BBC Radio 4 programme It's my Story. In the programme, Phúc related how she was involved through her foundation in the efforts to secure medical treatment in Canada for Ali Abbas, who had lost both arms in a rocket attack on Baghdad during the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Kiran Ahluwalia

Ahluwalia was born in India and immigrated with her parents to Toronto, Canada as a child. After completing her MBA at Dalhousie University, she returned to Toronto with the plan of being in the financial services industry, but changed her mind and went back to India to study music. She returned to Toronto and found poets writing beautiful lyrics in the poetic form of ghazals, inspiring the beginnings of her musical career.
Ahluwalia started composing these poems and singing them in concert in Canada, India and Pakistan. She and a circle of poets have become a part of the evolution of ghazals, thousands of miles away from its origins.
Ahluwalias bi-cultural life experience has made her adept at reaching new audiences something evident in her thoughtful and modern explanations on stage. To one recent audience, she explained that ghazals explore the many moods of love, from the ecstatic to the despondent, from pursuing the beloved to feeling the restlessness of unrequited love, and summarized by describing a ghazal as a highly-literate pick up line. Kiran earned a Juno Award in 2004 for her album, 'Beyond Boundaries' and a second JUNO Award in 2012 for her album, 'aam zameen : common ground'.

Kokoro Dance Theatre Society

Kokoro Dance Theatre Society was incorporated as a non-profit society in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 31, 1986. Its mandate is to re-define the meaning of Canadian culture through teaching, producing and performing new dance theatre with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary collaboration and cross-cultural exploration.
Taking its name from the Japanese word kokoro - meaning heart, soul and spirit, Kokoro Dance creates deeply evocative and provocative performances. Inspired by the Japanese modern dance form known as butoh, Kokoro Dance fuses the aesthetics of East and West. In the past fourteen years, Kokoro Dance has created and performed works for the proscenium theatre, for site specific environmental locations, for young audiences in schools, and for impromptu improvisations in jazz night clubs. The company has performed across Canada, in the United States, and in Europe.
Artistic Directors Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi, Musical Director Robert J. Rosen, Lighting Designer Gerald King, and Costume Designer Tsuneko Kokubo, are responsible for most of Kokoro Dance's collaborative work that has produced uncompromising, challenging dance theatre.
Komachi Montreal

Komachi Montreal (こまち モンレアル) is a Montreal-based Japanese folk dance group founded by Kayo Yasuhara in 2007. The group specializes in Bon or Bon Odori dancing, an annual Buddhist ritual meant to celebrate and honour the dead. This type of dance is also performed during summer festivals, also known as Matsuri. Komachi Montreal's specific dance style is that of Minyō which embraces the joy of dancing, celebration and finds the courage to enjoy and live life. This is also that style that has been orally transmitted throughout generations in Yasuhara's native region, however each region in Japan boasts their own interpretations and dancing styles and Komachi Montreal also hopes to showcase these other dances to expose their audiences to the full colour of Japan folk dance culture.
While Komachi Montreal originally started as a small troupe named Yume Mirai, they rose to prominence following the earthquake in the Tohoku region in Japan in 2011. Since then they have participated in many charitable events in a show of solidarity for their people in Japan and show hope for a brighter future for everyone affected by the disaster.

Korean Canadian Symphony Orchestra

==Mission==
Their mission is to present the highest quality classical orchestral music to our audience, many of whom are not regular concert-goers, to present Korean-Canadian soloists and composers and provide work and experience to young musicians from the GTA.
 
==History==
Korean Canadian Symphony Orchestra was founded in September 1987 and became a registered charity in 1990. We have 2 regular concerts in a season, once in the spring and once in the fall. In 2002, a youth orchestra was founded and is steadily growing. Youth orchestra also holds two concerts in a season, a Christmas concert, usually held at a seniors’ residence, and a spring concert at the end of the season. In 2004, we also started first-ever Summer Music School and it was a big success. Summer Music School has now been an annual event appreciated by many young musicians and their parents.
==Artistic vision==
The artistic vision for the KCSO is straightforward: passionate music-making, variety of programming, performing works of Korean-Canadian composers and retaining the best Korean-Canadian soloists. The music director works with the KCSO as well as other professional orchestras and professional orchestras always perform superior technically, however, it is not the case necessarily when it comes to playing passionately.
This vision is shaped primarily by the music director, with input from the board of directors and musicians.
Kotoka Suzuki

Kotoka Suzuki, born in Tokyo, Japan, is a composer focusing on both multimedia and instrumental practices. She has produced several large-scale multimedia works, including spatial interactive audio-visual work for both concert and installation settings, often in collaboration with artists and scholars from other disciplines.
Her work conceives of sounds as physical moving objects that are visible, constantly transforming into different forms, sizes, and colors, as they travel through the air at different speeds. These objects can be based on real life such as water or an entirely imaginary object.
Suzuki’s work is often produced in relationship to a specific site. The placement of sounds and performers within the site is also a crucial element in her work. The roles of the performer and audience are often expanded so that they become active compositional partners, where they are invited to directly influence the music and visual elements as well as the narrative/musical structure of the work.
Her work has been featured internationally by performers such as Arditti String Quartet, Continuum, Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM), Pacifica String Quartet and Earplay Ensemble, at numerous festivals such as Ultraschall, ISCM World Music Days, Inventionen, Klangwerktage, VideoEx, International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), and Music at the Anthology (MATA).
Among the awards she has received include DAAD Artist in Resident Berlin (Germany), Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Competition Prize-Multimedia (France), Robert Fleming Prize from Canada Council for the Arts, George A and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation, and Musica Nova International Electroacoustic Music Competition Honor Prize (Czech).
She received a B.M. degree in composition from Indiana University and a D.M.A. degree in composition at Stanford University.

Kwoi Gin

== About ==
"Toronto filmmaker Kwoi Gin's father, Suey Kee Gin, arrived in Canada in the early 1950s as a the "paper son" of his own grandfather, who had followed an uncle here to work on the Canadian Pacific Railway. He used false identity documents purchased by his mother in Hong Kong to enter Canada, a common deception used by families to overcome the discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
"My grandmother was worried that my father might get caught coming through immigration because she thought he might have been too young and they would turn him back," says Kwoi, who was born in Hong Kong. "She wanted to have that insurance that he would make it through."
Canada had repealed the Exclusion Act in 1947, but many Chinese Canadian families still lived in legal limbo and found it difficult to reunite. Ironically, Kwoi's father once had legitimate papers, but they were sold to another family to allow a son to come to Canada under his name. In 1965, Kwoi and his mother were finally able to move from Hong Kong to Toronto, and he met his father for the first time. Then, as a 9-year-old boy, he found Canada to be frightening and alienating.
Kwoi says he's searched most of his life for a place to call home, traveling back to Hong Kong in the 1990s to explore his South China Sea roots. "I didn't want to come back, because I didn't really like it here in Canada. I couldn't fit in," he says. "Then when I went back there, I was very disillusioned and I realized I could never go home again. What I left was no longer there, and I didn't fit in there probably just as much as I didn't fit in here."
Kwoi also has searched for his family's Canadian roots in Quesnel Forks, B.C., a ghost town where his great-grandfather, Dip Gin, lived for a time after the completion of the CPR. "I remember stories, fragments, from my great-grandfather about going there after the railroad. So I wanted to see if I could find any of that history."
