Chinese School, Victoria Chinatown
Shows Chinese School at 636 Fisgard Street in Victoria, B.C. It was constructed in 1909 by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) in response to racial and cultural segregation imposed by the school board and government, which banned Chinese-born students from City schools until they spoke English. Although no longer the sole source of education for Chinese children in Victoria, as it was originally, the school continues to provide education to members of the community. Creator unknown. Catalogue number: 53163; Association number: 91-9578-2.
