The cultural heritage of Chinatown is a core aspect of what makes this neighbourhood unique – as a historic place but also a living community. Join Vancouver Heritage Foundation for a visit to Chinatown House, a new hub in a converted building that is providing space for co-working and cultural programming. Hear about the project from Leslie Shieh, co-founder of Tomo Spaces and learn about the intangible cultural heritage of the area from Helen Lee, a planner with the City of Vancouver’s Chinatown Transformation Team. In exploring the important role of intangible heritage to Chinatown’s revitalization and conservation, Helen will be joined by Cantonese instructor and certified tea master, Christine Wong, who will serve tea and discuss its relevance in Chinese traditions and everyday practices. There will also be a special reading from the recently published Journeys of Hope: Challenging Discrimination and Building on Vancouver Chinatown’s Legacies.
Tickets: call to register 604 264 9642, $20 (incl. tax)

Join Toronto author and Globe and Mail journalist Ann Hui in conversation about family secrets, the surprising history of ginger beef, and the brave ingenuity with which people across the country get by in a celebration to launch her new book, Chop Suey Nation: The Legion Cafe and Other Stories from Canada’s Chinese Restaurants.
In a reported memoir that uncovers the author’s own family history alongside the stories of families across Canada, Chop Suey Nation tells the sweet and sour story of immigration through the kitchens of small-town Chinese Canadian restaurants.
The afternoon features a special conversation with Ann hosted by Hua Foundation’s Jackie Wong, refreshments from local Chinatown eateries, and a book signing.
