Commemorative Monument Project

Last updated on August 20, 2018

A series of monuments that will take different forms including plaques or markers will be placed at various locations around the province. The monuments will provide symbolic recognition of the contributions made by Chinese Canadians to British Columbia’s history, culture and prosperity; and will raise awareness of the racist and discriminatory laws and policies that existed in the early days of the province.
