Our friends at Chinatown Today has partnered up with the stewards of the Mon Keang Chinese School to offer an exclusive tour of the oldest Chinese school in Chinatown. Join them to see why we need to save the school in the National Trust for Canada’s Next Great Save competition.
When: Saturday, April 27, from 1:00-2:00pm
Where: Wong’s Benevolent Association (123A East Pender)
Cost: Free!
Then come learn qigong and square dancing with a Chinatown elder at the Chinatown Plaza Mall right after the tour!
Also, the Mon Keang school is falling behind on votes in the National Trust for Canada’s Next Great Save competition. They need you to keep voting every day until May 6th. Help them now:
Can you square dance like this 3 year old? Show us your moves this Sat Apr 27!
Show us you can bust a move like this 3 year old in a public square.
