Floata was more than a restaurant, it was a place where working class families like mine went to spend time together. “At seven in the morning, I don’t want to eat dim sum, but I’m scarfing down my har gow and siu mai, because it was our family time together,” said Seto.
"Vancouver loses 'a culinary community centre' with sudden closure of Floata Seafood Restaurant" feat @donnaseto as told by @fumano via @VancouverSun

My open letter to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Minister of Housing @gregorrobertson , follows up with my question about affordable housing, requesting that the government provide details of its commitments to supportive housing, social housing and coop housing.
A great honour to have interviewed @donnaseto about her now bestselling book on #chinatownyvr and growing up in #Vancouver in the 1990s!

"It's a place worth going to, it's a place worth honouring, but also it's a place worth saving," said @donnaseto, author of Chinatown Vancouver: An Illustrated History. It’s a remarkable new book that is both a remembrance of Chinatown’s past and a symbol of hope for its future.

My new book, Chinatown Vancouver, is about more than just buildings. It’s about identity, importance of diverse voices in history, & what it means to be a Canadian of Chinese heritage. I also talk about my undergrad @SFU @SFUFASS in this article. @
