SUMMARY:Wing Noodles: The Heart of Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:After nearly 130 years of operations\, Wing Noodles has closed its doors. The family business that introduced Québec to fortune cookies several decades ago leaves behind a rich and layered history\, the discovering of which might spark joy comparable only to the experience of chewing into a Wing’s almond cookie for the first time. JIA’s newest exhibition dives into the legacy Wing’s has built and how this legacy came to be\, spanning the arrival of the Hee Chong Lee in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu at the end of the 19th century\, the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion years\, and all that Wing’s came to be and represent for the family\, patrons\, and community it nurtured. \n\n\n\nWing Noodles: The Heart of Chinatown invites you to dig deeper into this history and discover the stories of spaces\, people\, and objects at the very heart of Wing’s. \n\n\n\nBeware: its contents might lead you down a rabbit hole journey into research topics as precise as networks of Chinese restaurants in Eastern North America or as large as heritage preservation. If this were to happen to you\, our Fortunes and Futures talks series might provide some answers. 👀At Chinatown House starting June 6\, 2026.Saturdays & Sundays 11am–4pm\, rain or shine.

SUMMARY:The “Wing’s Block”: A Cultural Anchor for Chinatown's Future
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, Wing Noodles stood as a symbol of continuity in an ever-changing neighbourhood. Its landmark buildings stand within the heritage-designated institutional core of the district\, a block with some of Chinatown’s oldest buildings and community organizations\, holding significant potential for the neighbourhood’s future. \n\n\n\nToday\, the “Wing’s Block” stands at the intersection of memory and possibility. The JIA Foundation is bringing together residents\, businesses\, institutions and community partners to imagine the future of this historic site. The goal is not simply to preserve an important landmark in Montréal\, but to have the Wing Noodles legacy inspire a vision that places culture\, heritage and community values at the heart of urban development. \n\n\n\nThis event will present the newly released “Wing’s Block” Vision\, followed by a panel discussion with Jessica Chen (JIA Foundation)\, Ron Rayside (Rayside Labossière) and Taïka Baillargeon (Héritage Montréal)\, with financial support from the City of Montréal.  \n\n\n\nRegister Here
