July 1, 1923, Canada welcomed white #immigrants & shunned #POC - mostly #Asian & #Chinese immigrants.
As #Canadians celebrated opportunities #Canada provided - #ChineseImmigrationAct 1923, came into effect.
It applied to Chinese nationals & people of Chinese descent who were British citizens. Predating #draconian #apartheid laws of South Africa by 25 yrs.

Today in 1923, the Chinese Exclusion Act comes into force.
The act bans most forms of Chinese immigration to Canada. Only diplomats, merchants and foreign students are allowed in the country.
The Act remains in force until May 14, 1947.

Each year on Canada Day, Betty organized a family reunion at her parent’s gravesite in Toronto. She wanted the family to pay respects to her father, who first arrived in 1911, and her mother, who arrived in 1920.
