CTV News – Government to Recognize Historical Significance of Canada’s Ban on Chinese Immigrants
Parks Canada Minister Steven Guilbeault says the federal government has designated the 1923 ban on immigration by people of Chinese origin as an event of historical significance. July marks the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Immigration Act, which banned Chinese people from entering Canada. Speaking at a reception for Asian Heritage Month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the ban was immoral and unfair. In a press release, Parks Canada says the legislation was the result of anti-Asian racism, and lasted for 24 years.
