Abstract

The multi-media packages on the ethnic groups in Toronto are an attempt to introduce Toronto teachers, especially teachers of English as a second language, to some of the cultures and societies from which their students come. This paper is an introduction to the multi-media package on China. In the preparation of the guide certain themes and issues emerged. These themes and issues became the criteria for the selection of materials in the package and for the emphasis of the paper. The package gives only a sample of Chinese culture; the text is limited to provide a few reference points to encourage further exploration of Chinese culture, history, and society. Divisions in the guide are: China Now, Chinese Immigrants to China, Hong Kong and the Chinese Immigrant, and Chinese Culture. There is a brief list of primary sources used in the preparation of the guide, as well as a list of the contents of the multi-media package which includes books, audio-visual materials, and prints. Related documents are SO 004 349, ED 066 383, and ED 067 332. (OPH)

Subjects
CEMETERIES, RELIEF models
Abstract

Oral tradition states that the first Chinese cemetery in Victoria, Canada, was possibly west of Swan Lake, but its precise location and history are unknown. The application of an ideal Feng Shui topographic model and the use of aerial photographs, cadastral and topographic maps, material in Chinese archives, and records of the Land Registry Office, show that the Chinese Association in Victoria purchased a plot of land north of Swan Lake in 1891. The site could not be used as a cemetery because of objection by residents in the vicinity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
