Chilliwack's Chinatowns: And if? | Les quartiers chinois de Chilliwack : Et si?
Dr. Chad Reimer, author of "Chilliwack's Chinatowns" (Chinese Canadian Historical Society of British Columbia, 2011) was interviewed in December 2016 by the Chilliwack Museum and Archives.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Canadian Museum of History in the creation of our virtual exhibition, Chilliwack's Chinatowns: A Story of Diversity, Racism, and Arson.
Transcript:
If those fires hadn’t had happened and if the Chinese, most of the Chinese, hadn’t left, they left largely for Vancouver, we would have one of the major, important, Chinatowns in British Columbia. But outside of Victoria and Vancouver, Chinatowns have not survived, largely. Nanaimo’s has not survived, for instance; the physical face of it. Why is that important? Well it’s important because it would remind us that even here in Chilliwack, where we’re one of the least ethnically diverse communities in British Columbia, that our history is not one of just British, and Scottish, and Canadian, and American. The story of Chilliwack’s Chinatowns show from the very start we have been a multiethnic town. The fact that the Chinese made such a crucial contribution to each step of the way; it would not have been forgotten if, if their community had survived to this time. And it would have made our community richer, because of it. We can’t bring the Chinatowns back, but by remembering the role that Chinese people have played in founding the community, the immigrant community here, by remembering that we can make Chilliwack richer. I mean it’s a richer understanding of our history; it’s more interesting just flat out. But it’s also, you know, makes us appreciate human stories that are different than ours; human stories that are different than what we usually think of. It improves the community just right across the board and makes us just a more interesting place; makes us a more welcoming place.

Chilliwack: Inside and Out Downtown Walking Tour
I grew up in Vedder Crossing before moving away in 2003. I'm astonished at how much it has changed and how busy it has gotten. I remember it being a small, quaint town in the 90s. Lucky Dollar, Gobble n Go, etc.
They should bring back the electric train?
So lush and green in those idyllic days!
Just came across this today. Is Dr.Archie Young still alive ? He was my family's doctor was at my wedding and delivered 2 of my children. He was awesome 👌👏
Thanks for this excellent collection of facts and ideas on the Fraser as much more than just a river "system". Who produced it and how can people support your work?
we are all canadians----our flag proves it------no other country has a flag like canada------the world is shocked
ace
I live in this area of Chilliwack, and in my opinion it's one of the best areas to live in the city.
We were further ahead 100 years ago. Train station, beautiful industrial college, etc.
1:51 is a gold
i was here in k-3 every christmas time as a class field trip and it was GREAT.
i live here tysm for uploading this
The most beautiful place on Earth, easily!
Very enjoyable just feel like it’s missing something’s
I was raised in Chilliwack in the 50's, it was a bustling little town, now five corners is filled with drug addicts and homeless people and look's like a ghetto. Shame.
Well, maybe the 2021 floods washed them away. I visited there in the mid-'90s, it was nice little town.
Shame on you! So some people are having a rough time..as you know there is almost NO places people can go for help in chilliwack, there are no homeless shelters, there are no free meal kitchens..where would you have them go? My Dad was raised here in the 50s and he always had compassion for people regardless of who they were, maybe you should have learned some too
@@tasselhoff1293 Listen sport, it's a shame you don't know what you're talking about, the Sally Anne has the soup kitchen as well as a homeless shelter they opened last year, only thing is, they don't allow drunks or people on drugs, because they cause nothing but grief.
@@tasselhoff1293 get a fucking job is a start
i live there
this is the most awesome video, ever. I LOVE IT!! and i loved her joking around with the camera...hahahah this was fantastic thank you!
Nice video!
oh yea awesome yo
well done would be better no music
I love this! Thanks for this & the other videos. :)
Thanks for sharing!
So cool to see!
I like the music wat kind is it?
The music is royalty free music, I believe from Sound-Ideas.
It was great to see Dr. Archie Young. He delivered me and was my family doctor growing up in Chilliwack.
yeh I don't know it looked like and this is gross face to me
the video was great. but the music was way to loud. I had a hard time hearing what she was saying over the noise.
haha... they are actually very good. I think she made that face because she's made and tried them for over 20 years!
They are obviously not nice as she makes that face in the end
Great video. One mistake here at 0:54: that's not Yarrow School in 1905, but rather the first Mennonite Brethren church building on Central Road circa 1930. It was replaced by the present church in 1938.
Little Mountain (formerly Mt. Shannon) is slightly to the northeast of the downtown area of Chilliwack... off of Yale Road (on the left hand side if you were driving east towards Rosedale). It is on the south side of the Hope Slough and south of Fairfield Island. There are residences on Little Mountain, as well as the community cemetary: Little Mountain Cemetary. Does that help?
where is little mountain?
nice video
vibrant urban core.
woo woo woo .....
