Vancouver architect Joe Wai is featured in Vancouver Magazine's October Issue.  The article is titled Chinatown Calculations and details the questions in saving Vancouver Chinatown's past and defining its future.  I can proudly say cousin Joe was one of my early role models growing up.  Because of the activities of Joe and his brother Hayne, I was able to witness their involvements and love for Vancouver's Chinatown.  It definitely sparked my own interests to understand our shared history as our grandfather Wong Wah had come to Canada at the age of 16, in the 1880's.

The magazine also features interviews with Fred Mah, Henry Yu and Jessica Chen-Adams.  Fred is a community leader and director of the Chinese Cultural Centre, Henry is a professor of History at UBC, and Jessica is the City of Vancouver liason for the Vancouver Chinatown Revitalization Committee.

The artical also mentions the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC 's study of the five buildings in Chinatown.  The article also poses the interesting question, Who Will Define Our Chinatown? with some interesting answers.
