SUMMARY:If These Walls Could Talk: Exploring Chinatown's Stories 舊牆留聲
DESCRIPTION:As we walk through Victoria’s Chinatown\, we see only what exists today. However\, these buildings have stood for decades and each holds multiple stories within its walls. The architecture tells us about the origins of the owners and their aspirations in Victoria\, while the businesses that operated in these spaces have been vital to the region’s economic and social development. \nBeyond the architecture and commercial history\, the personal narratives of families provide a window into the daily lives of those who once lived in these buildings—offering a glimpse into the past and weaving together the rich tapestry of Chinatown’s legacy. \n“This exhibit not only celebrates the history of Chinatown\, but also highlights the dedication and collaborative spirit of our community\,” says VCMS Board Chair Dr. Grace Wong Sneddon. “We are grateful for the contributions of community members who made this exhibit possible by generously sharing their family stories. We invite everyone to join us in exploring the many layers of Chinatown’s legacy.” \n“If These Walls Could Talk: Exploring Chinatown’s Stories 舊牆留聲” marks a significant milestone as it is the first exhibit curated by museum staff and board members. The exhibit will run until spring 2027.

SUMMARY:Anniversary of the 1922-23 Chinese Student School Strike
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese Student School Strike was a powerful\, year-long act of organized civil resistance against institutionalized racism in Victoria. In September 1922\, the Victoria School Board attempted to expand its existing segregation policy\, ordering all Chinese Canadian students up to Grade 7 to be removed from public schools and placed into Chinese-only schools. On the first day of the new term\, when principals marched the children to the segregated site\, the students\, acting on a plan organized by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) and other community groups\, dispersed and went home instead of entering the segregated facility. This remarkable\, coordinated boycott of over 200 students successfully halted the expansion of segregation for a year\, forcing the community to establish a temporary Chinese Free School to ensure the children’s education continued. This pivotal moment demonstrated the unwavering resolve of the Chinese community to fight for equal rights and educational opportunity\, laying a foundation for future battles against anti-Asian discrimination in Canada.
