Thunderbird Stadium: Condominium Owners

Immigrant Services Dept: "People are afraid that the entire Chinese community is being painted as uncaring and afraid of a facility that would provide good for the entire community," said Tung Chan, former CEO of the Vancouver-based immigrant services group Success, according to Vancouver Sun. The ethnic Chinese homeowners have complained that proximity to death brings bad luck in their cultural tradition. They also fear the hospice could lower their property values and a prominent Chinese-Canadian fears his ethnic community is being unfairly tarnished by the protest of Asian condominium owners against a proposed hospice at the University of B.C. Dozens of Asian residents in an upscale condominium highrise on the UBC campus are protesting a proposal to build a hospice next door, near Thunderbird Stadium. As reported in the news.
