In this episode, Parker Mah from the Jia Foundation joins us to unpack the often untold stories behind Montreal’s historic Chinatown. Moving beyond what we see on the surface, Parker shares the multigenerational histories that have shaped the neighbourhood – stories of migration, resilience, community-building, and cultural continuity. We explore the ongoing fight to preserve Chinatown in the face of development pressures, and why protecting this neighbourhood is about far more than architecture. It’s about memory, belonging, and safeguarding a living history.*This month, we will be publishing an episode in English.
