chinese-canadian history_poster copy(2)_f458x241_1421782063The Chinese Historic Places Recognition Project is an outcome of the Chinese Historical Wrongs Consultation, where many participants expressed the hope that Chinese Canadian cultural history could be preserved in perpetuity.

Recognition of places with historical significance to Chinese Canadians will serve as an opportunity to celebrate British Columbia’s diversity, and recognize and acknowledge the contributions of Chinese Canadians in British Columbia – both past and present – to the prosperity and diversity of the province. A selection of nominated historic places will be officially recognized by the Government of British Columbia and placed on the BC Register of Historic Places and the Canadian Register of Historic Places.
