Did you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.

The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.

First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.

I remember me & others #FOBS - Fresh off the boat refugees, were treated with disdain by #Asian folks born here & it confused me a lot, as a little kid. I didn't understand why people who looked like me & my family, seemed to hate & not want to be anywhere around us refugee kids. It took me years to learn that they were so #whitewashed #indoctrinated, they became just as cruel to us as the white racist kids were. I felt sorry for them. I thought - how awful their lives must be, hating their own cultures & ethnicness. I got angry at their actions. I always felt more sorry for those #POC #brainwashed kids, than anger.

A new #exhibit has opened up at the #MahSociety of #Edmonton, taking visitors through more than a century of #ChineseCanadian #history.

The Journey of the Horse was created by Sue Mah & Andrea Maru.

The two met on a #heritage tour in 2019 back to their #ancestral village in southern #China, where they both inspired to share their family’s history & the #hardships early #Chinese #settlers to #Canada experienced.

#HongKongWatch #Canada welcomed the idea. However, since consulting the public would take a few years to form legislation, the #HumanRights group urged the #CanadianGovernment to set up an #independent #reporting #hotline first. The group stated an urgent need for a hotline to prevent any suspected agents of the #Chinese #CommunistParty (#CCP ) from continuing to #intimidate Hongkongers in Canada.
