This week Montreal's food scene is introducing some unexpected combinations. A Chinatown restaurant is serving rice burgers that reimagine the traditional bun. Kraft Heinz is making sure no bowl is left behind with new plant-based and gluten-free versions of Canada's favourite comfort food. And when it comes to spring desserts in the city, you can definitely put all your eggs in one basket. Mini egg treats are making a seasonal comeback.
For decades Chinatowns all over North America have been at the vanguard of community ownership. These neighborhoods were established during a time when East Asian communities faced discrimination elsewhere, leading families and merchants to band together. They collectively acquired properties to provide homes and spaces for their businesses, fostering a sense of unity and belonging. However, these CLTs now confront new challenges, from aging buildings to the allure of these properties to external investors. The close proximity of Chinatowns to downtown areas brings both rising property taxes and constant offers from speculative investors. Our event will shed light on these issues and, more importantly, explore how emerging community land trusts are working tirelessly to address them. Register today and hear solutions hailing from cities such as Los Angeles, Toronto, and Boston.
