Community keeps Chinatown alive.

Last week we joined the launch of Vitality: Iconic Images and Hidden Stories and later visited the exhibition at the Chinatown Storytelling Centre. Both moments carried the same truth: a neighbourhood is more than its streets — it’s the people and the stories that endure.

Meeting co-author Ramona Mar, who also shaped the audio work for the exhibition, reminded us how history speaks in many forms — images, voices, memories. The struggles, resilience, and hope of generations past still echo through Chinatown today.

Revitalization is about more than restoring buildings. It’s about carrying forward the spirit of community that has always held this place together.
