CALGARY CHINATOWN

Calgary is best known for its famous rodeo and its winter sports. Surprisingly,
it is also home to Canada’s 4th largest Chinatown by population (after
Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal), and the largest by area. In the 2012
municipal census, Chinatown had a population of 1,577.

The blocks immediately surrounding Chinatown are also multi-ethnic, with a
strong Asian influence.

Calgary’s Chinatown was officially founded in 1910, and celebrated its 100th
anniversary in 2010. However, there was a strong Chinese presence dating back to
the mid-19th century.

The first small concentration of Chinese in Calgary developed on the eastern
edge of downtown at the end of the nineteenth century. Riots broke out in 1892
when some of the Chinese were discovered to have smallpox, and the Chinese
population had to be protected by the police. In 1901 another area of
concentration, again mostly a handful of residences, laundries, and restaurants,
developed on the southwestern edge of downtown, on the other side of the railway
tracks, when a local minister helped the Chinese obtain rental property. In 1910
soaring property values in the city led to the sale of the properties rented by
the Chinese. But this time local Chinese businessmen were able to buy land, and
they re-established themselves on the northern fringe of downtown near the Bow
River, on Center Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, an area little valued
because it was prone to flooding.

This area of concentration did grow slightly to include neighboring blocks as
the population of Chinese in Calgary grew from 485 in 1911 to 1,054 in 1931. But
additional growth was limited, because of the national prohibition on Chinese
immigration, and because of the tendency for the Chinese to establish small
businesses in suburban areas, which allowed little chance for community roots to
grow. But by 1961 immigration regulations were relaxed and the census identified
2,232 Chinese in the city of a quarter of a million inhabitants. Chinatown
contained approximately two-fifths of this total and had eleven different social
associations, a school, two Chinese Christian churches, and thirty businesses, a
majority of which were restaurants or other food businesses.
