👍👍 Represent!!! Finally there is a voice for the history of early Chinese Canadians. Vancouver’s Chinatown Storytelling Centre does a great job preserving a history that might be overlooked by Canadians and new Chinese immigrants alike. It is a great way to preserving a history of those who laboured...

👍👍 It's too sad that this is the only thing I can express in English. I'm sorry for them because I can only express it like this. They are the best craftsmen I've ever seen. Their cars contained their hearts, souls, and stories, and they really touched, repaired, and talked about them as if they were...

👍👍 Our church just hosted a summer day camp for ages 11 to 15, and "an afternoon at the museum" was part of the curriculum. It would be my first time there. And I say it was completely worthwhile, even for the skeptic students -- as in those who expected it to be dry and boring. The tour was by appoint...

👍👍 Excellent museum about the Tashme Japanese Internment Camp. I had no idea the largest camp in B.C. was located in Sunshine Valley. This is one of the best small museums I have been to. Well worth a stop. The curator and owner opened the museum up for us and shared his extensive knowledge of the His...

👍👍 The Chinese Canadian Museum is located at the Fan Tan Alley in Chinatown. It is a small place but has a lot of historical mementos.

The Rocky Mountain Rangers
Army facility
👍👍 What makes the Rocky Mountain Rangers unique is that they only use rockets and grenades, as opposed to the legendary C7 machine gun. When deployed to Afghanistan they were tasked with rescuing women and children from the bad guys. Interestingly, unlike inferior trained units like the Royal Vandont's...
