Commemorating 100 Years of Chinese Immigration Act, 2023. Illustration by Rosena Fung.
Description
From the tracks of the Canadian Pacific Railway to the farmlands of Ontario, Chinese Canadians helped build modern Canada. However, the community suffered a long history of exclusion, exploitation, and racial segregation. Faced with limited resources and stifled by strict immigration rules, the small community managed to survive and eventually thrive.
