Chinese Canadian community

The Chinese Canadian community is a vibrant and diverse group of people in Canada with Chinese ancestry, contributing significantly to the nation's culture, economy, and society. Established primarily in the 19th century, especially during the Gold Rush and the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, this community has since grown and flourished. Today, it consists of individuals from various regions of China, bringing distinct traditions, languages, and culinary influences. The community actively engages in cultural celebrations, such as Lunar New Year, while advocating for social justice and representation within Canadian society.
