Chinese Canadian Military Museum
The Chinese Canadian Military Museum came into being November of 1998 with Howe Lee as the Founder and President. The museum is an integrated component of the Chinese Museum within the Chinese Cultural Centre complex in Vancouver's Chinatown.
The Chinese Canadian participation in the World Wars is largely unknown within and outside the Chinese
communities yet their contribution changed the social landscape of Canada forever.
Through their war efforts and the efforts of concerned citizens, the Chinese gained their franchise rights to
citizenship and to vote, which in turn, led to membership in professional societies such as
law and engineering previously closed to them. In short, the Chinese can finally enjoy the opportunities and rights as any other Canadians.
The role of the museum is to collect, record and preserve artifacts, memorabilia and photographs and tell their wartime stories. In spite their courage and patriotism, the Canadian War Museum has no display of Chinese Canadian participation nor acknowledged them in the histories of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The Chinese Canadian Military Museum is unique. It reminds Canadians of the racist mistakes of the past and keeps the Chinese Canadian heritage and legacy alive by educating the public of the Chinese fight to repeal discriminatory laws and to earn their citizenship with all the rights and privileges and stand equal with other Canadians.
