The Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC is bringing together three local experts to lead an online Vancouver Chinatown Walkabout for the explorASIAN Festival.
John Atkin is a civic historian and heritage consultant; Bob Sung hosts cultural and culinary tours of the historic neighbourhood, and Hayne Wai is a long-time Chinatown researcher and advocate.
