Chinese Benevolent Association of Vancouver
Chinese Benevolent Association of Vancouver (CBA; ) is a Chinese Canadian organization headquartered in Vancouver. As of 2006 it has 2,000 members and serves as a federation of various Vancouver-based Chinese organizations.〔"(The Government of Chinatown )" ((Archive )). ''The Vancouver Sun'' at Canada.com. November 4, 2006. Retrieved on February 23, 2015.〕 Douglas Aitken of ''The Georgia Straight'' stated that the CBA was the most important organization operating in the Vancouver Chinatown in the first half of the 20th century.〔Aitken, Douglas. "(Faces of Vancouver: Chinese Benevolent Association and Chinese Freemasons buildings )" ((Archive )). ''The Georgia Straight''. January 18, 2010. Retrieved on December 26, 2014.〕 The ''Vancouver Sun'' wrote "They were, for all intents and purposes, the government of Chinatown."〔
==History==
Wong Soon King, Lee Kee, Shum Moon, Yip Sang, Leong Suey, and Chow Tong founded the CBA in 1896.〔"(1886 - 1920 )" ((Archive )). ''Vancouver Chinatown 1886-2011''. Simon Fraser University. Retrieved on December 27, 2014.〕 Ten years later the CBA received a designation as a nonprofit organization.〔"(About Us )" ((Archive )). Chinese Benevolent Association of Vancouver. Retrieved on February 23, 2015.〕 Willmott wrote that the CBA's role as a federation of multiple locality associations in Vancouver did not correspond "to the reality of power groupings within the Chinese community in Vancouver" and that it was unlike other Canadian benevolent associations; Willmott concluded that the Vancouver CBA structure "probably" originated from the San Francisco CBA's structure.〔Willmott, W.E. "Chinese Clan Associations in Vancouver." ''Man'', vol. lxiv no. 49 (1964), p. 33-37. -- Cited: p. 34.〕 The Vancouver CBA operated the Chinese Benevolent Association Building in Chinatown; it was built in 1907.〔 Additional association buildings opened in the 1910s and 1920s.〔 As the British Columbia Chinese population shifted to Vancouver, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association in Victoria moved to Vancouver in the 1930s.〔Tan, Hugh, p. 11.〕
In 1962 the association gave places in its ruling committee to representatives of every other Chinese association in the Vancouver Chinatown. This was done due to changing sociopolitical conditions;〔Willmott, W. E. "(Approaches to the Study of the Chinese in British Columbia )" ((Archive )). ''BC Studies''. No. 4. Spring 1970. p. 38-52. CITED: 51. (See profile page ).〕 Chinese in that period were finding a greater acceptance in mainstream society and new immigrants were not oriented to the older Chinatown organizations.〔Willmott, W. E. "(Approaches to the Study of the Chinese in British Columbia )" ((Archive )). ''BC Studies''. No. 4. Spring 1970. p. 38-52. CITED: 50. (See profile page ).〕 In 1964 Willmott wrote that "many Chinese", especially more assimilated Chinese, "do not recognize its right to speak for them".〔 According to Aitken, the organization "lost most of its influence" in the 1970s,〔 and the Chinese Benevolent Association of Canada split from it in 1979.〔 Aitken stated that the CBA regained influence by 2014.〔 In 1991 the president of the CBA estimated that the organization had 10,000 members; the per person membership fee was $1 and there were multiple paths to membership, so Hugh Xiaobin Tan, author of "Chinese-Canadian Associations in Vancouver," concluded that the exact membership was "difficult to determine".〔
