from its early days of industrialization to its modern underground form, focusing on the experiences of the workers and their ongoing struggle for fair and dignified work.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">Many visitors have visited Vancouver Chinatown’s in search of Chinese cuisine and specialty shops. A visible and yet commonly overlooked fabric that lines the streets of Chinatown and their surrounding neighbourhoods are Chinese
Societies. Vancouver is home to one of the largest concentrations of them. A century after the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed, Larry Chin methodically walked the streets to find out how many are still in existence and active. With his experience on the Board
of two Chinese Societies, will guide you on a virtual journey and access their interior spaces to share his findings as well as their origins, purpose and relevance; with a look at the beautifully illustrated Chinese Societies Map, the 2022 VHF Publication
Grant recipient.</span></div>
