One year before the #ChineseExclusionAct was brought into effect, locally the #VictoriaBC #SchoolDistrict voted to #segregate #Chinese #students from the school system.
In 2022, on the 100th anniversary, the #GreaterVictoriaSchoolDistrict issued an #apology for this & the #ChineseCommunity marched to #commemorate the actions of students who walked out in protest of the segregation.

Members of #Montreal 's #ChineseCommunity gathered in Chinatown on Sunday to mark the 100th anniversary of the #ChineseImmigrationAct aka the #ChineseExclusionAct .

The #exclusion act stopped all #Chinese #immigration into #Canada & divided hundreds of families until it was #repealed in 1946.

Kwan, a longtime #activist who has been #warning the #FederalGovernment for the better part of two decades about #ChineseGovernment #interference , both through his testimony to the parliamentary #ForeignAffairs committee & as a contributor to several reports, says #Ottawa needs to be careful the process doesn't cause #backlash against the #ChineseCommunity .
