BC Artscape Sun Wah Community Steering Committee 社會指導委員會
BC Artscape projects are built from the ground up within their communities, engaging community members, partners and stakeholders from the earliest stages of the pre-project development.
Development of the BC Artscape Sun Wah has been led and advised upon by a Community Steering Committee made up of Chinatown residents, business owners and community members. While the Committee and its work is ongoing, to date, it has provided guidance on project vision, tenant criteria and selection, intersectional issues, security and accessibility.
Once the BC Artscape Sun Wah is operational, its Community Steering Committee will evolve to include community stewardship and project governance roles. Tenants and community program partners will be enlisted to ensure shared ownership and decision-making.

我們的項目在社區內由底建成，初步就開始聯繫社區成員，合作夥伴。
BC Artscape新華的發展由當地居民、商戶和社區成員組成的社區指導委員會帶領和指導。委員會仍在持續進行中，到目前為止，已經在項目願景、租戶標准和選擇、交叉問題、安全性以及便利性方面提供了指導意見﹔
當BC Artscape新華開始營運，委員會便帶領項目的治理，確保租戶的共同合作決定能力。

He is the lead on a report commissioned by UBC to examine ways to sustain Chinatown as a valued cultural landscape.

Yuriko Iga was born in Winnipeg and raised in Calgary with Japanese parentage. Her experience of the traditional Japanese house and family, combined with her work in the contemporary art field, have led her toward a broadened conception of art as the creation of installation or social space always ignoring the boundary between art, multi-media, design, and life. A graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design, Yuriko’s many artistic endeavours include running a cafe/gallery in Calgary called Kisaten from 1994–1996; working with the collective Colours for Industry on a multi-media dance piece called Microluft ; and curating a music event called Squibb. Now based out of Vancouver, Yuriko’s recent project is called Blim. Blim is a Community Based Art Resource Center which facilitates screen-printing, button making, drawing, local emerging artists, creative workshops, and crafts in the independent field. Blim also hosts the Blim Market, which is a monthly craft event that houses local handmade craft, art, vintage, and organisations. Blim has been active for 9 years and has now moved to a larger location in historic Chinatown. Yuriko is also an active member of the Powell Street Festival Programming Commitee.
Yuriko joined the Steering Committee because she grew up in Japantown and spent much time in Chinatown. She loves cultural hubs of any kind in any city, and wanted to make sure that was being represented and preserved.
Yuriko因為在日本鎮長大並經常在華埠過時間所以參加指導委員會。她喜愛各種各樣各地方的文化樞紐，並希望這能得到代表和保存。
William Liu is the second-generation CEO of the family -owned and -operated Kam Wai Dim Sum on Pender Street, started by his father the year before William was born.
In any given day, he folds hundreds of dumplings and makes deliveries to dim sum restaurants and suppliers across Metro Vancouver. William works seven days a week with a break on Sunday mornings to sing in church.
At the time of taking over the family business, William had completed studies in voice performance under Peter Barcza at UBC and was poised to pursue graduate school in New York to study opera. He has performed for audiences across Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Holland, Spain and the United States.
William is involved with the BC Artscape Sun Wah project because he sees the potential within its tenants and program partners to make positive contributions to the neighbourhood, culturally and artistically, as well as economically. He serves on the Steering Committee to ensure a measure of community control over the process.
