Join local historian Albert Lee on a journey through history! Walk the historic South End neighbourhood that was the traditional home of Halifax's Chinese community as Albert shows you the former sites of Chinese-owned businesses and homes and gives background on waves of Chinese immigration to the Maritimes! The main focus of Albert Lee's tour will be on the Chinese Exclusion Act that banned the entry of virtually all Chinese immigrants for 24 years to Canada. In 2023, the federal government recognized the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from Canada from 1923 to 1947 as an event of historical significance.
Starting at the Museum, the walk is approximately 1 hour.
