Original Chinatown

"City Hall is the site of Toronto's original Chinatown that was expropriated in the 1950s as a slum. Recognizing the history of this city, history of discrimination should not be something we should be shy about. We need to recognize the past to move forward."


— Karen Sun, Thursday May 15, 2008 at City Hall kicking off Asian Heritage Month 2008
