Place Sun-Yat-Sen in Montreal's Chinatown. (Photo credit: It’s Saturday morning at Chinatown House, and sun is filtering through the windows as a growing buzz of people arrive to chat, share egg tarts, or work on a community project.
While the building at the corner of Clark and de la Gauchetière is quiet now, in a few days the entire second floor will be full of art exhibits and people as part of the Chinatown Reimagined Forum II.
Taking place this September 28-30, the Forum is organized by the JIA Foundation, a Montreal-based nonprofit dedicated to providing meaningful ways for people to connect with Chinatown. The free event is an opportunity to learn about the history of the area, celebrate heritage and resilience, and work towards thriving, sustainable Chinatowns across North America.
