Citizenship And Immigration Canada: Chinese Migrants

Henry Yu Dept: The site, Chinese-Canadian Stories: Uncommon Stories from a Common Past History, is scheduled to launch in 2012 and will feature resources in Chinese and English, according to Vancouver Sun. "Chinese migrants came to what is now British Columbia over two centuries ago, engaging with first nations peoples at the same moment that the first migrants from Europe arrived," said Henry Yu, project lead and associate professor in the department of history and a bilingual website to tell the story of Chinese-Canadians is in the planning stages at the University of B.C. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will provide $900,000 under its Canada's Community Historical Recognition Program. In addition to the Web portal, the funds will help build a searchable archive of digital materials, learning materials for students and three "mobile museum" kiosks to be deployed in cities across the country. As reported in the news.
