Chinatown Memorial Square is located in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown at the corner of Keefer Street and Columbia Street. This valued public space hosts important community events such as the Remembrance Day ceremony, and draws many visitors to the neighbourhood where they can learn about the contributions of Chinese people in Canada. It also provides a space for community members to honour their culture and traditions.
This project is an important part of Chinatown's living heritage. We are working with the community, stakeholders and people from across Vancouver to improve Chinatown Memorial Square as an accessible public space while developing a design that enhances its culture and history.
