Community Profile: Chinatown, Calgary

Overview
Chinatown is one of Calgary’s most vibrant and historically significant neighborhoods, located just north of Downtown along the Bow River. Known for its rich cultural heritage and thriving local businesses, Chinatown offers a unique blend of traditional Chinese culture and modern urban living.

History

Calgary’s Chinatown has a storied history dating back to the late 19th century. The first Chinese immigrants arrived during the 1880s, primarily working in the railroad and mining industries. Chinatown’s original settlement was closer to the railway tracks, but due to urban development, it was relocated to its current location in 1910.

The neighborhood faced numerous challenges over the decades, including racial discrimination and urban renewal projects that threatened its existence. However, through the resilience of the Chinese community and support from local advocates, Chinatown has endured and evolved into a cornerstone of Calgary’s multicultural identity.

In recent years, Chinatown has become a hub for cultural celebrations such as Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, drawing both locals and visitors to experience its lively traditions.
