About Chinatown Today
Chinatown Today is a youth-led non-profit based in Vancouver’s Chinatown, on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəyəm, Skxwú7mesh, and səlilwətaʔɬ nations. Through its signature publication, Chinatown Stories, as well as its website and events, Chinatown Today highlights community needs, educates the public, and shares Chinatown’s stories – past, present, and future. Over the past couple of years, we have balanced our physical and digital presence in the community by providing a platform for community voices against gentrification and 105 Keefer, launching Spirit of the Square, our new annual summer event, and collaborating with hua foundation and UBC’s ACAM program to support experiential learning in community-based research. In 2023, we published the fifth volume of our signature publication, Chinatown Stories, tackling connections created, lost, and shared through the theme of The Bridges Between Us. As we move into our next chapter as an organisation, we hope to continue publishing Chinatown Stories, hold events and place-making in the physical spaces that make up our Chinatown.
