Wong is heading up the new Chinese Canadian Museum Society of British Columbia, which will oversee the development and operation of a new museum in Vancouver's Chinatown. "People told us they want a museum to showcase the diversity of Chinese-Canadian history and culture, past and present. The society plans to not only explore the history of the province's Chinese-Canadian community but also document the ongoing Chinese-Canadian experience, delving into current events and visions of the future. The exhibit will explore the pivotal role of food and restaurant culture in the evolution of the Chinese-Canadian community in B.C. The museum plans to unveil a larger sister exhibit at the Museum of Vancouver (MOV) in the fall.
