Chinese community groups in Montreal are welcoming a report from the city's public consultation office on how to preserve Chinatown. But they say protection of heritage buildings cannot, on their own, save the entire neighbourhood.
The Chinatown Working Group announced it was closing its doors. Instead, two new organisations will take its place: the Chinatown Roundtable and the Jia Foundation. Daybreak host Sean Henry speaks with May Chiu. She is a former member of the Chinatown Working Group and now a coordinator for the Chinatown Roundtable.
Montrealers got a look at what the REM de l’Est could look like running through the heart of Montreal in recent days, and early plans for the line are making some residents nervous about how it would affect the city’s bustling downtown.
