For over a century, Vancouver Chinatown’s societies and associations have served as unwavering stewards of cultural heritage. “Keys to Living Heritage” is a film series that showcases intangible cultural heritage activities and spaces inside Society-owned heritage buildings. Shared through the lens of their members, each episode raises awareness of the rehabilitation efforts these societies and associations face to restore and maintain their buildings, to keep traditions alive and pass them on. Chinatown Society Heritage Buildings Association (CSHBA) was established with the “objective of helping one another to rehabilitate the society-owned heritage buildings in Chinatown.” Watch this series on YouTube.

"Vancouver's Chinatown had been suffering for decades. Beset from all sides, from gentrifying development swallowing up landmarks to long-time Chinese residents moving away to the suburbs, this historic neighbourhood was slowly dying and no one could figure out how to halt its demise. Everything changed when the question of what to do with the empty lot at 105 Keefer Street was raised, and as many generations did before, the Chinatown community rose up and fought for the very existence of their home."
TELUS has uploaded the TELUS original film in full on their YouTube channel for a limited time (October 19th to 24th). After that, it will be available on TELUS Optik in November.
