Creation of the CCNC

The Chinese community is outraged by a CTV program suggesting that universities unfairly admit Chinese students over Canadians. The program received further criticism for its depiction of “Chinese” students, whether or not they were Canadian-born or with student visas. The outraged sparked the creation of the Chinese Canadian National Council (CCNC). Council also launches a campaign to get redress from the Canadian government for the past payments of the Head Tax by Chinese immigrants.
