IMPORTANT:&nbsp;THIS TOUR IS A REPEAT OF LAST YEAR&#39;S FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT. IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE Why We Do Heritage: the Chinatown Bachelors and the Wongs&rsquo; Benevolent Association&nbsp;FEATURED FOR THIS YEAR. This year&rsquo;s tour is focused on why the Wongs are doing a rooming house bachelors exhibition and the relevance to present day.That tour is here:<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/why-we-do-heritage-the-chinatown-bachelors-and-the-wongs-benevolent-association" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">&nbsp;https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/why-we-do-heritage-the-chinatown-bachelors-and-the-wongs-benevolent-association</a> The repeat tour of last year&rsquo;s is about&nbsp;the different ways the Wongs are trying to do heritage in Chinatown today and the challenges they face. Description and registration are below. Tour DescriptionRarely is heritage about a single issue. This tour and discussion explores the connections between social history, cultural identity, the physical building and its uses and the current context of Chinatown. We take advantage of being on location at the Wongs&#39; Benevolent Society building and the Hon Hsing Building together with representatives from the Wongs&rsquo; Benevolent Association to make the topic of heritage understandable, relevant and relatable. We will tour the two buildings on Pender and take a short walk around the surrounding part of Chinatown to provide context. This will be followed by a sit down talk, discussion and group reflection in the historic Wongs&#39; Benevolent Association building after the walk. We explore the Wongs&rsquo; relationships with historical discrimination, their buildings and physical heritage, succession, and efforts to pass down tradition and living cultural practices within the context of the whole of Chinatown today. These are the multiple ways the Wongs understand heritage. We discuss together how a current generation of Wongs are caring for their heritage in an environment where the dominant and lasting idea, especially in city planning terms, of heritage is the single issue of the physical heritage building.&nbsp; Join us to listen, share and consider. The Wongs have a message that their heritage is alive, multidimensional and taking place right now. This way of thinking may be relatable and relevant to you. This event is a collaboration between the Wongs&rsquo; Benevolent Association and Heritage Vancouver Society. It is made possible by the financial support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.&nbsp; NOTE: THERE WILL BE STAIR CLIMBING INVOLVED. ALTHOUGH WE WILL BE INDOORS, WE WILL ALSO BE OUTSIDE FOR A PORTION OF THE TOUR RAIN OR SHINE.&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1788396975/wysiwyg/vu21zhgvilqjup9wvrk0.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">
