FOUNDATION TO COMMEMORATE THE CHINESE RAILROAD WORKERS IN CANADA INCORPORATED

The Foundation to Commemorate the Chinese Railroad Workers in Canada honors the history and contributions of Chinese laborers who built Canadian railways in the late 1800s. Through research, education, and cultural programs, the foundation preserves the stories and experiences of these workers who faced dangerous conditions and discrimination while constructing critical infrastructure across the country. Based in Scarborough, the organization produces exhibitions, documentaries, and educational materials that challenge historical narratives and bring visibility to a largely forgotten chapter of Canadian history. The foundation engages communities across the GTA and beyond, connecting descendants of railroad workers with their heritage while fostering broader understanding of immigration, labor, and nation-building in Canada.
