Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society
70th Anniversary Exhibits
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe, on May 9, 2015 we unveiled a refreshed museum with new exhibits and stories. Stories of courage, intrigue, perseverance, anguish and pain. Stories of individuals and stories of families and how the war shaped their lives. 
Our goal is to research, collect and share with visitors the unique stories of the more 600 Chinese Canadians who fought in the Second World War. It was their sacrifices and loyalty to Canada that won all Chinese Canadians full citizenship.
