Vancouver is consistently ranked as one of the best cities to live in. Multiculturalism and inclusivity are some of the most defining features of the city. Yet recently there has been a strong push for rejuvenating the historic neighbourhoods of the city. One of the most visible neighbourhoods to undergo such rejuvenation is Chinatown. It was initially developed along Carrall and Pender Street by the Chinese labourers who first settled in the 1880’s. Once a site of small businesses owned by Chinese families, Chinatown was considered to be one of the poorest areas of Vancouver for many years.

However now Chinatown is being developed into an up-and-coming neighbourhood of the city. Newly opened fashion stores, trendy cafes and rising condos are a visible sign of Chinatown's gentrification. Gentrification is often associated with urban development that provides high-quality housing, increased employment and business opportunities. But besides these positive outcomes, gentrification also brings significant increases in rent and the unequal distribution of developmental benefits to the middle class. This often leads to the displacement of lower-income classes from areas of traditional residence.

This short video-documentary was created in hopes to represent a diversity of voices of Chinatown.

Heading back out now. I have to stop at a lawyer's office to pickup some documents on behalf of my client & then heading to the hospital again.

On my street & on surrounding 3 blocks on all 4 sides - we are the only house with a political party support sign in front. We support BC Greens & their campaign platform but we aren't members of any political party.

Did you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

https://pacificmountain.ca/oriental-home-and-school-photos-online/

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.

The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.

First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.

This story is a fragment of the broader #history of a substantial #AsianCanadian population in #qathet, as evidenced by the 1921 & 1931 #Census data. Companies like #PacificLimeCompany on #TexadaIsland & various lumber camps from #Stillwater to #Lund employed #Asian #Canadian labourers, often paying #Chinese men half the wages of their white counterparts.

#Segregated bunkhouses & employment of #ChineseServants by white households were common.

I'm watching a #Vtuber who was "#graduated" (#fired) streaming under a new #avatar and it is REALLY weird.

I keep wondering why the purple haired, heterochromatic #AsianCanadian suddenly looks like a blue eyed blonde.
