Join our campaign to save Nanaimo Chinatown's last buildings
We are a collective of Nanaimo residents, Chinese diasporic scholars, cultural workers, educators, and community researchers with roots in Nanaimo and China. We believe that Nanaimo’s Chinatown and the history of the early Chinese diaspora are important cultural and historical legacies that must be recognized today and conserved for future generations.
