Fair In The Square & Chinatown Sundays
A free community event blends into unexpected Chinatown discoveries
Being open to exploration in Vancity
takes friend and actor Kelly Metzger and I to Victory Square
for a Sunday community gathering, music, and BBQ
where we meet dedicated community members and their groups
who are working hard to better their neighbourhoods through a variety of support and educational programs
and, after walking through Chinatown
and peering down an irresistible narrow space between buildings
by chance, a resident arrives and invites us inside.
His name is Frank Gao
he is a portrait artist (frankgaoportrait.com)
and he is happy to talk about his move from Calgary
he has only lived here a short time
and we are all new
when we explore
