Remembrance Day in Chinatown

Remembrance Day, formerly called Armistice Day, commemorates Canadians who died in all wars that Canada participated in since Confederation in 1867.

The Chinatown Memorial Square was built to recognize two groups of Chinese that helped change Canadian history. The building of the railway was a condition for B. C. to join the rest of Canada. The Chinese Canadian veterans came back from the Second World War to help gain Canadian citizenship and to obtain the franchise (the right to vote).
