The Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC presents Vancouver Chinatown Walkabout as part of the explorASIAN Festival on May 16 at 10 am PDT via Zoom.
The Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC is bringing together three local experts to lead an online Vancouver Chinatown Walkabout for the explorASIAN Festival.
John Atkin is a civic historian and heritage consultant; Bob Sung hosts cultural and culinary tours of the historic neighbourhood, and Hayne Wai is a long-time Chinatown researcher and advocate.
All three are past presidents of the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC and collectively have over one hundred years of Chinatown involvement.
It’s one of dozens of events taking place during the 25th annual explorASIAN Festival in honour of Asian Heritage Month.
