In Calgary, city council passed a cultural and development plan dubbed 'Tomorrow's Chinatown'' in December, while Winnipeg announced a revitalization plan in 2019.

Flying Lion Dance Troupe brought smiles at a Chinatown supermarket Sunday morning, where they stopped by shops and showered them with lettuce, signifying wealth and prosperity.

The Paulin Biscuit Factory, as well as the neighbouring lot to the west between Ross Avenue and Pacific Avenue, are being offered up for sale, with the goal of putting a low-rise, mixed income residential development on the property.
