Walking Tour: Chinatown

 

#19

Chinese Benevolent Association Building

108 East Pender Street

The Chinese Benevolent Association (CBA) was organized at the turn of the century to represent Chinatown to the larger Vancouver community. The CBA led protests against repressive legislation, provided for Chinatown's poor during hard times and sponsored Chinese-language schools. Look for posters announcing its current activities. This building, completed in 1901, is home to the Association.
