Starting this week, there’s a new exhibition for visitors! The Chinese Canadian Museum officially unveiled our new military exhibition, “A Soldier for All Seasons” to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Open to the public on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, “A Soldier for All Seasons” is located on the newly expanded and renovated third floor of the Chinese Canadian Museum. This powerful exhibition — in collaboration with the Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society — shares the heartfelt and often overlooked stories of Chinese Canadian soldiers who risked their lives to serve a country that, at the time, regarded them as “second-class” citizens. Their sacrifices were instrumental in prompting the Canadian government to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1947, marking a critical step toward full citizenship and equal rights for Chinese Canadians.
This exhibition highlights the powerful stories of Chinese Canadian men and women who served in every branch of the armed forces — despite being denied full citizenship. Their service at home and abroad helped challenge discrimination and reshape Canada’s path toward equality.
