Here are some more details about the organizations and institutions in Canada that focus on Chinese Canadian history and culture:
Chinese Canadian Museum Society of British Columbia: This organization operates the Chinese Canadian Museum, which is located in Vancouver's Chinatown. The museum features exhibits on the history and experiences of Chinese Canadians in British Columbia, including immigration, settlement, discrimination, and contributions to Canadian society. The museum also offers educational programs for schools and community groups, as well as community events and festivals throughout the year.
Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto: This cultural center is one of the largest in North America, with over 50,000 square feet of space dedicated to promoting Chinese Canadian culture and heritage. The center features a variety of programs and services, including language classes, cultural workshops, and performances. The center also hosts exhibitions, cultural events, and festivals throughout the year, including the annual Toronto Chinatown Festival.
Montreal Chinese Culture and Community Centre: This cultural center is located in Montreal's Chinatown and provides a variety of programs and services for the local community. These include language classes, dance classes, and music lessons, as well as cultural events and festivals. The center also operates a library and archives that contain materials related to Chinese Canadian history and culture.
Chinese Canadian National Museum: This museum is currently under development and aims to be a national institution dedicated to preserving and promoting Chinese Canadian history and culture. The museum will feature exhibits on Chinese Canadian history, culture, and contributions to Canada, as well as educational programs and community events. The museum is expected to open in 2023.
These organizations and institutions are important resources for learning about and celebrating the contributions of Chinese Canadians to Canadian society. They provide opportunities for education, engagement, and cultural exchange, as well as a sense of community and belonging for Chinese Canadians and others interested in Chinese Canadian culture.
In order to create and run a public museum in British Columbia that honours the history, contributions, and current heritage of Chinese Canadians, the Chinese Canadian Museum Society of British Columbia was established as a separate, non-profit organisation in March 2020.
While there is no charge for admission, due to a capacity limit, we strongly advise visitors to make reservations in advance.
Chinese Canadians Museum will serve as a record of Chinese Canadian experiences and encourage respect, inclusivity, and intergenerational cooperation. The growth of CCM has placed a strong emphasis on telling tales using the many voices of Chinese Canadians.
The Chinese Canadian Museum strives to offer a revitalising and transformative experience for present and future generations through its exhibitions and programming throughout British Columbia and Canada, guided by its mission statement “Connecting to the Chinese Canadian story - addressing inclusion for all”
