Chinese Exclusion Act Anniversary; Satellite Event, Exhibit & Symposium Promotion
UBC worked to curate an exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum about the anniversary and sponsor three events: a June 23 satellite viewing at UBC Vancouver of a National Remembrance Event held in the Senate chambers in Ottawa, a June 26, 2023 discussion with the museum curator and a September national symposium to raise awareness of this dark chapter in Canadian history.
New art connects The Reconciliation Pole to Musqueam territory
UBC Media Relations collaborated with Musqueam to share the story of the new artwork titled θəʔit (truth in English), added to the Reconciliation Pole at UBC. We spotlighted UBC’s commitment to reconciliation and Indigenous Peoples, facilitated media interviews, and raised awareness about the meaningful artwork.
