SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum: Virtual Film Screening: The Ties That Bind + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:With the Foundation to Commemorate the Chinese Railroad Workers in Canada\, we’re proud to present the next event in our 2021 lecture series \nAbout This Event\nJoin us on May 13 for a screening of the Foundation to Commemorate the Chinese Railroad Workers in Canada (FCCRWC)’s film\, The Ties that Bind with a post-show Q&A with a representative from the Foundation and Toronto Railway Museum historians. The Ties That Bind preserves a seldom told part of Canada’s history and we are pleased to present the film as we celebrate Asian Heritage Month in May. \nAbout Ties that Bind\nBetween 1881 and 1885\, over 17\,000 Chinese men came to Canada to work as labourers on the construction of the western section of the transcontinental railroad. Today\, many Chinese Canadians are direct descendants of these men. The Ties That Bind: Building the CPR\, Building a Place in Canada tells their story\, and how their forebears contributed to nation building. \nThe famous “Last Spike” photograph tells only one part of the story. The people looking at the camera are white. Not one Chinese man is present. In this final moment\, the story of the Chinese railway worker – their labour\, sacrifice\, and struggles – is omitted from the historical record. \nThe Ties That Bind examines the struggle of the Chinese Canadian community to establish an identity and roots in Canada. Through archival evidence and research about the men who came from China to build the transcontinental railway in the 1880s\, and the use of oral testimony of their descendants\, The Ties That Bind preserves a seldom told part of Canada’s history.
