According to an announcement from the local government, the apology event will be held in Vancouver’s Chinese Cultural Center, with events featuring traditional Chinese food and dance lessons. The apology is made on behalf of previous city councils and will address wrongdoings in the city’s legislation, regulation and policies.
In addition to English, the apology will also be read in Siyi Yue and Cantonese, which are primarily spoken in Guangdong province. According to China News, such arrangements were made due to the fact that most Chinese immigrants that were discriminated against in Canada were from Guangdong.
