British Columbia. Report on Oriental Activities Within the Province

Authors

Abstract

"Statistical information is here assembled by different agencies of government. The most significant paragraph among the conclusions is the following: 'The fact is pointed out, particularly in Vancouver and Victoria, that whereas until recent years Chinese stores were only to be found in those quarters of the two cities which have for many years been occupied by people of this race, stores and laundries conducted by Chinese are now to be found spread over all parts of the cities, in addition to the still existing Chinese quarters. Municipal officials state that in numerous instances these stores... have replaced or driven out white storekeepers who formerly made a livelihood."
