VANCOUVER — The Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver has received about $5 million in new federal funding ahead of its opening on July 1.
The museum gives the sacrifices and hardships undertaken by Canada’s earlier Chinese settlers a physical presence, providing important insights into Canadian history and how it relates to society today, Wong said.
The funding announcement came on the sidelines of the U.S.-Canada Chinatown Cultural Preservation and Revitalization Conference, which is hosting representatives from 18 Chinatowns from across North America. “You have to understand where you have been to be able to chart the kind of future you want for your country,” Ng said.Advertisement 4The Chinatown conference Tuesday and Wednesday in Vancouver is gathering representatives from other Canadian cities including Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto, as well as U.S. cities including San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York.
Lee said her team is working on a report to compile the lessons learned from talking with other Chinatowns, hoping the combined experiences of the challenges faced by different cities during the pandemic can help inform each community on how to build back stronger.
