Canada is a country that is recognized for its diversity, vibrant communities, and openness toward newcomers, but it wasn’t always like this – especially for Chinese-Canadians.
Arlene Chan is an author and award-winning Chinatown historian who brings the history, culture, and traditions of the Chinese in Toronto and Canada to life in her speaking engagements, tours, books, and essays. Arlene is the daughter of the late Jean B. Lumb, who ran the successful Kwong Chow restaurant located at Elizabeth and Dundas Street in Toronto's first Chinatown. In this episode, Arlene shares the lesser known history and hardships faced by Chinese-Canadians in Canada, her fond memories and the legacy of Jean Lumb, Arlene’s body of work and what she is most proud of, and more.
Arlene is the president of the Jean Lumb Foundation that awards high school students of Chinese heritage from across Canada. She serves as an advisor for Myseum of Toronto, Ontario Infrastructure’s Heritage Interpretation Working Group, and Toronto Public Library’s Chinese Canadian Archive.
