@vrygnestad1 recalls her father used to swim at what was unofficially referred to as " Brown Skin Beach" in Vancouver at a time when segregation restricted where non-whites could or couldn't swim. Thx to CBC for tracking it down. @carolmliao youtu.be/UUNeem0xxZI?si=KfbX…

Anyone knows what happen to old tweets from 2018 & earlier? A good project for history/archival students to help document our events/engagements posted to social media platforms, before they are removed by the owners. @carolmliao @TariqMalik0_0 @allancho @ubcccel 2/2

Flashback to 2018: photo by Swedish intern Sadredin after we walked the 2 retired lions thro' #Chinatown to our office, where @WinnieCbook painstakingly cleaned & retored one of them for an artist to install just below the ceiling. @WYipJD @acww @UBCACAM 1/2

Several houses in Strathcona have been marked with a sign outside to highlight the rich history & remarkable people who once lived in that historical neighbourhood. This one certainly deserves special mention.@acww @Damascus8. @VanHeritage @PchcMoM #CrossCulturalWalks

Wayson Choy, author of The Jade Peony, grew up in #Vancouver and spent a big part of his childhood in #Chinatown. He also lived in this house at 630 Keefer St. From the 1920s-1970s, various Chinese families also made this house in Strathcona their home.

It's not a lion or a dragon, it's the qilin, the Chinese unicorn!
As a Hakka person, I'm excited to share that Chinatown Together & Hakka Assoc are reawakening the qilins on April 13 with a demo & workshop of this rare cultural tradition.
