Come celebrate UBC Alumni Weekend 2013 on Saturday May 25th at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (home of the Chung Collection!), which will host a program featuring UBC alumnus Dr. Laifong Leung. Professor Leung will talk about the Chinese community in Canada in the 20th century as part of “Chinese Canadian Stories: From Early Literature to Modern Archives.” 
 
Following the talk, we will offer a tour of the Chung Collection at Rare Books and Special Collections. The collection will also be open for self-guided tours from noon to 4 p.m.

And by the way… you don’t need to be an Alumni to visit the Chung Collection on May 25th! Drop by anytime between noon and 4 pm and you’re welcome to visit the exhibition.

From our friends at the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of B.C.:

“CCHSBC is pleased to host “Saltwater City for Youth”, a one week day camp for young teens, August 12-16.  The objective of the camp is to educate young teens about the role Chinese Canadians have played in the historic development of Vancouver and how they continue to shape the city.  Field trips include Museum of Vancouver, Chinatown, UBC and Steveston.

Please visit the website www.cchsbc.ca for the registration form and more information. Inform your friends and relatives of this exciting opportunity to learn about Chinese Canadian history. Teens of all backgrounds are welcome. Early registration is recommended, $160 for CCHS members and $200 for non-members.

 CCHSBC kindly acknowledges financial funding from the Province of B.C. and support from the Museum of Vancouver.”
