Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
Erlton, Calgary This cemetery contains the graves of approximately a thousand of the town's early Chinese citizens, or more since many Chinese buried their own dead and kept no legal record. These early settlers faced terrible hardships including racial discrimination, loneliness and difficult work as railway workers on the CPR, miners in the BC interior and labourers in the cities and towns. They died a long way from home. The graves follow the Chinese tradition of burial—all are on a slope and face east to ensure the dead can face the rising sun. |
