Explore the new temporary exhibition, \u201cVictoria in the Time of Exclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n
This exhibition examines what happened to the Chinese, particularly those living in Victoria during the dismal exclusion years (1923-1947), through surviving C.I. certificates from Victoria families. <\/p>\n
It also was the only time in Canadian history that one group was barred from entry based solely on their country of origin. Victoria family stories are featured as part of the exhibition, alongside the stories of bachelors and C.I.s of many other individuals. <\/p>\n
Curated by Catherine Clement, Dr. Grace Wong Sneddon, John Adams, Naomi Louie, and Sarah Ling, this exhibition is an extension of the Chinese Canadian Museum\u2019s inaugural \u201cThe Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act\u201d exhibition that is currently featured at the main Vancouver Chinatown location (51 E Pender St. Vancouver, BC).<\/p>\n

We are located on the unceded land of the l\u0259k\u0313\u02b7\u0259\u014b\u0259n People, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations in Victoria. The Chinese Canadian Museum values the interconnected histories and experiences of Indigenous peoples and Chinese Canadians, and it is our hope to share, reflect, and expand on these stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
