Chinatown Graffiti Cleanup

VYP is supporting the Vancouver Chinatown Business Improvement Association (VCBIA) remove graffiti and garbage from Chinatown. Chinatown suffered during the pandemic, the VCBIA wants to restore Chinatown to its former glory and bring business back to Chinatown.

One of the Largest Chinatowns in the World!

 Chinatown has a universal appeal to locals, tourists, as well as a growing number of  emerging chefs, artists, and small business entrepreneurs. The distinct character of buildings are preserved by a heritage designation with murals and window art telling the stories of early Chinese pioneers. Between 1886-1920, the first wave of Chinese immigrants settled around Carrall Street and Dupont (now Pender) Street. By 1890, the area was home to more than 1,000 Chinese residents. Today’s Chinatown is a destination neighborhood attracting people from across British Columbia and also international tourists.
