Saltwater City for Youth is an innovative summer camp that educates 13-14 year olds on the role of Chinese Canadians in the historic development of Vancouver. This youth camp developed by the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of B.C. will also highlight this cultural group’s continued influence on the city’s current demographics and civic formation. Programming includes local community and academic speakers and visits to historic sites. At the end of the six-week program, students will create and present community artwork to the general public.

With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.
