Sauga 50-for-50: Uncovering the Stories of Early Chinese Immigrants in Historic Mississauga

On this week's episode of Sauga 50-for-50, we welcome Heritage Mississauga intern student Daston Babakan to speak about his research on early Chinese immigrants to historic Mississauga during the period of Chinese Exclusion in Canada (1923-1947). He traces local trends and stories discovered through his research to understand the day-to-day lives of these residents by examining their family, spiritual and work lives. This research is ongoing and we look forward to discovering more about our Chinese community in the future. If you have any memories or information regarding this topic in Mississauga's history, please reach out to resource@heritagemississauga.org
