Delve into the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923, exploring the reasons behind its enactment by the Canadian government, and examining its impact on Chinese men residing in Canada, as well as the families they were forced to leave behind in China. Engage in discussion on the lasting effects of this historical event on Chinese families.

The program will feature a multimedia presentation exploring the impact of 24 years of separation caused by the Chinese Exclusion Act on Chinese families.

The presentation will be delivered by Gordon Cheong, Professor of Media Arts at the University of Guelph-Humber and founder/administrator of the Facebook group “Canadians with Hoisanese / Taishanese Roots”.
