About this Event

Celebrate with us as we launch our Letters to My (Grand)Parents publication where we feature readings from our Chinese Canadian young adult and senior writers! This initiative began as a community project to heal, reflect, and grieve with our elders and across generations through the written word and spoken language. It began with “What do you wish to know about your parents and grandparents, and what would you share with them now?” It has expanded through intergenerational programming in partnership with Future Arts Network, Chinatown Together, and in collaboration with Health Arts Society.

--

Co-led by Shanna Cheng 鄭嘉慧 and Michelle Ha 何家嘉 with Future Arts Network and Chinatown Together

Featuring writers: 阿子 with 爸爸, Carmen Cheung, Allison Chow, Megan Kwan with 公公, Yan Nok Noelle Lee 李茵諾 with 嫲嫲, Amy Lü 吕嘉仪 with 妈妈, Wen Wen Lu, and Yihk Qu; our seniors: Jack Chang, Eva Cho, Albert Lee, Lance Lim, and Swallow Zhou.
