Brandon University Professor Involved in Project to Recognize Manitoba’s Significant Chinese History

“Chinese Canadians have been coming to Manitoba since 1877, and for 38 of these years they have paid between 50 and 500 dollars in Head Tax. This amounts to a total of over $270,000. After 1947 and the repeal of the Chinese Immigration Act, wives and children denied entry to Canada since 1923, were reunited with husbands and fathers, most of whom were now elderly strangers.
