This story is a fragment of the broader #history of a substantial #AsianCanadian population in #qathet, as evidenced by the 1921 & 1931 #Census data. Companies like #PacificLimeCompany on #TexadaIsland & various lumber camps from #Stillwater to #Lund employed #Asian #Canadian labourers, often paying #Chinese men half the wages of their white counterparts.

#Segregated bunkhouses & employment of #ChineseServants by white households were common.
