SUMMARY:Our Journey Continues: 100 Years After the Chinese Immigration Act
DESCRIPTION:On June 29th\, the Chinatown Storytelling Centre will open “Our Journey Continues: 100 Years After the Chinese Immigration Act”\, a new special exhibit dedicated to honouring the multigenerational families who pursued their dreams and turned grievances into success. \nThe exhibit shares the lesser-known stories of families with ancestors who lived through the period of exclusion (1923-1947) and the living descendants making their mark in diverse professions. In selecting the stories\, the CSC spotlights ordinary people who are making an important impact in our community today\, including teachers\, doctors\, athletes\, artists\, and community organizers. The majority of the families have a connection to Vancouver’s Chinatown\, the vibrant intersection point of their extraordinary stories reflecting diverse occupations and backgrounds.

Young love blossoms for their daughter\, Erin\, and her activist friend. When a sudden death raises the morality of jailing anti-pipeline protesters\, family relationships and professional reputations are threatened. It’s time for judgment and the audience is the jury. \nCast: Jennifer Fahrni\, Sidney Klips\, Arsham Farasat\, Linden Banks \nWritten by Mairy Beam. Produced by Sinister Seniors. Directed by Lindy Sisson

SUMMARY:Accessible Community Forum on Accessible Healthcare in BC
DESCRIPTION:Our next Accessible Community Forum will be on Accessible Healthcare in BC to discover our community’s thoughts and experiences navigating healthcare with a disability. \nAlthough Canada offers universal healthcare\, the accessibility and availability of services are not guaranteed\, and people with disabilities are often the people who experience the most severe effects from a lack of accessible services. \nEqual access to healthcare is a necessity. Let’s break down barriers by discussing the current challenges people with disabilities face with topics like accessibility of services\, mental health\, medical ableism\, and government support. \nThe panelists for the coming Accessible Community Forum include: \nCharmaine Niebergall from Health Quality BC\nCassie Starc from Tall Tree Integrated Health\nPascale Jendral from Pathways Clubhouse\nJoanne Smith from Fruitful Elements Nutrition\nJocelyn Maffin from SCI-BC \nPresented by the  Disability Foundation and hosted by the ConnecTra Society\, this next Accessible Community Forum aims to cultivate a conversation between various organizations and our community of people with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Dead Fellows Haunted Brewhouse
DESCRIPTION:Dare enter Vancouver’s Haunted (Brew) Hosue maze through 10\,000 sq ft of dark brewery corners creeping with live ghouls\, undead brewers\, and jump scares that’ll leave you fearing for your life! STRANGE DEAD FELLOWS HAUNTED BREWHOUSE is a spine-tingling experience at Strange Fellows Brewing\, taking place from October 27th to 31st. Step into the eerie otherworld world of our brewery\, transformed into a haunted spectacle. A self-guided tour through our Haunted Brewhouse with all sorts of specials surprises and frights\, this experience is perfect to get you in the mood for the spooky season! \nThe veil between the worlds of the living and the dead has been torn open and Strange Dead Fellows has been hijacked by the Undead on a grisly mission. \nSeeking revenge for their untimely deaths\, a party of brewers who died in a tragic accident on these grounds have returned from the dead to make beer for their friends from the other side who have a taste for beer with lots of “body”. \nWhat tragic accident you ask? Prior to 1917\, False Creek extended East to where Clark Drive and Strange Fellows Brewing stand today and was crossed by bridges connecting the farmland and industrial areas on the South side with downtown on the North. In October 1899 the East bridge collapsed\, sending everyone on it to their deaths. Nine people died\, including a team of Brewers who were enroute to deliver beer to Gassy Jack’s saloon in Gastown. \nEvery year around the end of October and the anniversary of the tragedy we have felt a disturbing presence in the brewery which is located exactly where the East Bridge once stood. Unfortunately\, the drowned brewers have returned in the flesh (um… more like without flesh) and are on the hunt for fresh ingredients for their terrifying beer: YOU. No number of humans it seems will satisfy their friends’ thirst for full-bodied beer. \nDo you and yours dare enter this swamp of horrors teeming with the terrifying creatures from the Land of the Dead\, and can you make it through without becoming the body in their brew? A glass of revitalizing beer and an otherworldly party with the Undead await those who survive.
