Joss Temple at Chinese Cemetery
Joss Temple at Chinese Cemetery
This beautiful new Joss Temple structure and concrete Altar at our Ashcroft Chinese Cemetery were designed by Daniel Collett. Pache Denis , Bruce Walker, and Alex Lapore were instrumental in constructing these structures with Daniel. Pache also took on the task of administrating New Pathways to Gold funds through the Ashcroft Rotary Club. The Ashcroft Lion's Club were also involved with the unveiling ceremony and provided food and refreshments for the event. Our Provincial Government Minister of Multiculturalism Theresa Wat unveiled an "Apology Plaque" recognizing the poor treatment of the Chinese workers who were instrumental in constructing both the CN and CP railways .
