SUMMARY:Celebrating Wing Noodles' Legacy: A Community Fundraising Banquet
DESCRIPTION:Wing Noodles\, a cherished Chinatown landmark and important social-economic motor for Montreal’s Chinatown\, will be closing its doors shortly. The Chinatown community has rallied together to not only celebrate the Lee Family’s contribution but launch a campaign to conserve the legacy of this iconic enterprise and its historical building.  \n\n\n\nOriginally founded in 1897 under the name of Wing Lung\, this Chinese enterprise has not only served numerous Chinese restaurants and grocery stores which created a broader community network within Montréal\, Québec\, and beyond\, it has also provided employment\, including immigration possibilities\, for generations of Chinese migrants\, through the darkest chapters of Chinese-Canadian history.  \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, following months of intense community mobilisation to protect the building\, the Québec government granted the Wing Noodles building heritage status. Wing’s block (designated as ‘Noyau-institutionnel-du-Quartier-chinois’ for its architectural and historical value) is also the site of one of the three anchor projects identified by the Chinatown community in the Community Proposal for Equitable Chinatown Development Beyond 2026. \n\n\n\nThe entire community salutes the contributions made by generations of the Lee family that has operated the business for over half a century. The Chinatown Round Table and the JIA Foundation are pleased to invite you to personally come to wish Garnet\, Gilbert and George a very happy and well-deserved retirement at a community banquet on December 5\, 2025 at the Ruby Rouge Restaurant. At the same time\, you will have a chance to share your wishes for the future of Wing’s building by contributing to the JIA Foundation’s fundraising campaign for a community-driven strategy to conserve this unique piece of Montréal’s Chinatown cultural heritage. We look forward to celebrating with all of you! \n\n\n\nTicketing ends on Friday\, November 21st. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to reserve Tickets \n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, December 5\, 2025Time: 6:00 PM (Chinese line dancing led by Catherine Wong will begin at 5:30pm)Venue: Ruby Rouge RestaurantAddress: 1008 Rue Clark\, Montréal\, QC H2Z 1J9Ticket Price: $80 CAD per person (includes dinner)Please note: JIA Foundation is a non-profit in Quebec but not a charity; we cannot issue tax receipts. \n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE TICKETS / 活动购票详情 /  活動購票詳情\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n一同庆祝永兴隆面厂的历史贡献 社区将联合举办募捐晚宴 \n\n\n\n永兴隆面厂(Wing Noodles)，这个深受大家喜爱的唐人街地标，就要结束营业了。作为蒙特利尔唐人街的重要经济支柱，社区正在团结起来，不仅是向李家家族的贡献致敬，也是为了保存这座历史建筑和企业文化遗产而募款筹资。 \n\n\n\n永兴隆面厂创立于1897年，其西文招牌最早采用了“Wing Lum”的拼写，长期为蒙特利尔、魁北克及其他地区的中餐馆和华人杂货店提供面食，并以此建立了广泛的社区网络。更重要的是，它为数代华人移民提供了工作机会，甚至成为移民途径之一，陪伴了华人社区度过了加国华人历史上最艰难的时期。 \n\n\n\n2022年，在社区积极动员下，魁省政府正式将永兴隆面厂建筑列为文化遗产。该街区（被指定为“唐人街社区机构核心区”）也是社区在《2026年后唐人街公平发展提案》中提出的三大重点项目之一。 \n\n\n\n整个唐人街社区向李家几代人半个世纪以来的辛勤经营致以最诚挚的敬意。唐人街圆桌会和 JIA（家） 基金会诚挚邀请您于 2025 年 12 月 5 日晚上 6 点，来到红宝石（Ruby Rouge） 酒楼，亲自向 Garnet、Gilbert 和 George 送上祝福，祝贺他们光荣退休。同时，您也可以通过 JIA （家）基金会的募款活动，表达对永兴隆面厂未来的愿景，支持社区自发主导的遗产保护策略，守护这份独特的唐人街文化遗产。 \n\n\n\n我们期待与您一同庆祝，一同见证这个重要时刻！购票截止时间为11月21日。活动购票详情 \n\n\n\n日期：2025年12月5日（星期五）时间：晚上6点整 (由 Catherine Wong 带领的排舞节目将于下午5点30分开始。欢迎加入！)地点：红宝石酒楼（Ruby Rouge）地址：1008 Rue Clark\, Montréal\, QC H2Z 1J9票价：每位80加元（含晚宴） \n\n\n\n\n\n 齊來慶祝永兴隆麵廠的歷史貢獻社區合辦慈善晚宴 \n\n\n\n永兴隆麵廠(Wing Noodles)，這個深受大家喜愛的唐人街地標，即將結束營業。作為蒙特利爾唐人街的重要經濟支柱之一，社區現正團結一致，不但向李氏家族多年來的貢獻致敬，更希望透過募捐行動，保存這座歷史建築及企業文化遺產。 \n\n\n\n永兴隆麵廠創立於1897年，其西文招牌最早採用了「Wing Lum」拼寫，多年來為蒙特利爾、魁北克及其他地區的中餐館和華人雜貨店提供麵食，建立起廣泛的社區網絡。更重要的是，它為多代華人移民提供就業機會，甚至成為移民途徑之一，陪伴社群走過加拿大華人歷史上最艱難的時期。 \n\n\n\n2022年，在社區積極推動下，魁省政府正式將永兴隆麵廠建築列為文化遺產。該街區（被指定為「唐人街社區機構核心區」）亦是《2026年後唐人街公平發展提案》中三個重點項目之一。 \n\n\n\n整個唐人街社區向李氏家族半世紀以來的辛勤經營致以最誠摯的敬意。唐人街圓桌會及 JIA（家）基金會誠邀各界人士於2025年12月5日（星期五）晚上6時，蒞臨紅寶石酒樓（Ruby Rouge），親身向 Garnet、Gilbert 和 George 致意，祝賀他們光榮退休。同時，大家亦可透過 JIA（家）基金會的募捐活動，表達對永兴隆麵廠未來的期望，支持由社區主導的文化保育策略，守護這份獨特的唐人街文化遺產。 \n\n\n\n誠邀大家踴躍參與，一同見證這個重要時刻！購票截止時間為11月21日。 \n\n\n\n活動購票詳情 \n\n\n\n日期：2025年12月5日（星期五） 時間：晚上6時正 (由 Catherine Wong 帶領的排舞節目將於下午5點30分開始。歡迎加入！)地點：紅寶石酒樓（Ruby Rouge） 地址：1008 Rue Clark\, Montréal\, QC H2Z 1J9 票價：每位$80加幣（含晚宴）

SUMMARY:Morris Lum "Tong Yan Gaai" Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join Morris Lum on December 14th at the Chinatown House for an intimate discussion and book signing of his new photography book\, Tong Yan Gaai. Lum’s new book documents different parts of our Chinatowns over the years and through its changing landscapes. How much has Chinatown changed? Lum will be around all day to discuss his artistic process as well as any burning questions you might have around his work and to exchange stories in the heart of Montreal Chinatown. The Yep-Riopel House Exhibition documenting the history of the 116 De la Gauchetière building will also be up for its last day in our gallery space. Come and visit!  \n\n\n\nMorris Lum\, Tong Yan Gaai\, book cover\, 2025.\n\n\n\n\nOver the past decade\, Chinese Canadian photographer Morris Lum (born 1983) has embarked on an extensive exploration of the Chinatown communities scattered across Canada and the United States. Focusing on the architecture and evolution of these enclaves\, Lum delves into how “Chinese” identity is shaped and expressed through their structures. Using a large-format camera\, he has captured Chinatowns in cities such as Victoria\, Vancouver\, Calgary\, Edmonton\, Winnipeg\, Toronto\, Ottawa\, Montreal\, Chicago\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, New York City and Boston. Through his objective lens\, Lum chronicles the rapid transformations these communities face\, documenting the shifting architectural and economic landscapes. His colorful photographs offer a poignant visual record\, spotlighting both historical and modern-day cultural landmarks—small family-owned businesses\, iconic Chinese restaurants and vital community organizations—that define these neighborhoods.Morris Lum is a Trinidadian-born photographer and artist whose work explores the complex hybridity of the Chinese-Canadian experience through photography\, form\, and documentary practices. Lum’s work has been exhibited and screened across Canada and the United States. Currently\, he is focused on a cross–North American project examining the transformation of Chinatowns\, capturing the evolving architectural and cultural landscapes of these Communities. Morris is an Assistant Professor in the Visual Studies Department of the Daniels Faculty of Architecture Landscape and Design\, University of Toronto. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThis event will follow Morris Lum’s Book Launch happening on December 11th at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in partnership with the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art. \n\n\n\nYou will be able to procure a copy of Morris Lum’s Tong Yan Gaai as well as a limited edition book bag designed by artist Karen Tam at the Book Signing by donating 60$ or more. The tote bag will be available for pickup at a later date. The donation can be done onsite or online here.
