About This Resource

Using photographs and reproductions, students will engage with the question “What or who influenced the start, growth and decline of Paldi?”. In addition to learning more about South Asian Canadian history in BC, students will also learn how to use primary sources to learn about the past and get glimpses into the lives of children who were in Paldi in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
This resource was developed for and in partnership with the South Asian Canadian Legacy Project.
