A bright new vision for Edmonton's Chinatown
We believe in a flourishing Chinatown community which embodies social and economic resilience,
collaborates on purposeful initiatives for community development, provides accessible opportunities for personal and professional growth, and is a home for innovation and abundance for both new and historic business
owners of its community.
With this vision in mind, the Chinatown Longevity Guild was born.
