Energizing a Prosperous Future for Edmonton's Chinatown
For more than 100 years, Chinatown has persevered as a hub of culture and commerce because of the guidance of bold community leadership. The Chinatown Transformation Collaborative carries that leadership forward.
A Community-Driven Commitment
The Chinatown Transformation Collaborative (CTC) was formed to steward the Chinatown Strategy and to champion Chinatown over the long term. Working with cultural organizations, businesses, social agencies and the City of Edmonton, CTC advances the actions that will guide Chinatown toward a vibrant, inclusive and economically resilient future.
Chinatown is for everybody. Not just for us, not just for Chinese, because it's so mosaic.
