Letters to My (Grand)Parents 寫給（祖）父母的信

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.
