About Mon Keang School and the Next Great Save Contest
The Mon Keang School, operated by the Wongs’ Benevolent Association since 1925, has been entered in as a finalist in the National Trust for Canada’s Next Great Save contest! The historic place with the most votes will win $50,000 to help adapt, renew, or improve their space – Mon Keang is Vancouver’s only representative in the contest, and their century-old building is in dire need of these funds for repairs to ensure that it can survive for generations to come. Each person can vote once per day from April 18-May 6.
Vote Here Once Per Day!
If you’re curious about the school and the building, join Chinatown Today for a tour this Saturday, April 27 from 1-2pm! Space is limited so we do require RSVPs online. For more information, read this post.
