In partnership with the University of British Columbia, PCHC-MoM Society will be recruiting and training volunteers to serve at the information desk, assist at conference sessions and manage a mini exhibit of rare artefacts from the Ing Suey Sun Tong Association curated for the occasion. In order to facilitate community engagement, PCHC-MoM Society will offer two post-conference events open to conference delegates and the public. PCHC-MoM Society members and anyone with a Cuban connection will be most welcome.
Come meet the scholars and researchers either at a no-host lunch in Chinatown, or join us at a community dialogue in Cantonese at a historical site on Sunday, July 10th. As capacity is limited, pre-registration is required.

Community Dialogue : The Chinese-Cuban Connections
Scholars and researchers on Chinese in Cuba will have the chance to be in a dialogue with local community members to explore the Chinese-Cuban Connections and the impact of Migrant Workers from China to Cuba. A talk on his research on Chinese in Cuba by Dr K.S. Louie will kick off the community dialogue at a historical site in Chinatown where early Chinese migrant workers bearing the surname Ing (Ng/Eng/Wu) found a roof over their heads. To enable Chinatown seniors to join in the dialogue, Cantonese and Toishanese will be used as appropriate.
In partnership with the Ing Suey Sun Tong Association.

Date & Time: Sunday, July 10th, 2:00-4:00pm
