Cross Cultural Walking Tours

Carmel Tanaka is the Founder and the Program Coordinator of the Cross Cultural Walking Tours.

The Cross Cultural Walking Tours celebrate the rich layered history of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood: Jewish Strathcona, Hogan’s Alley, Chinatown, DTES and Powell Street. These guided or virtual walking tours build awareness of the contributions of Indigenous and early immigrant communities then and now, in celebration of Asian and Jewish Heritage Months in May. BC Museums Association awarded the program the Award of Merit for Excellence in Community Engagement.

The Cross Cultural Walking Tours participated in the City of Vancouver’s Scenario Planning Stories, an engagement effort to amplify the voices of equity-seeking community-based organizations on the Vancouver Plan. Carmel facilitated a series of community engagement sessions with partner organizations.

Carmel and many of the Cross Cultural Walking Tour partners are available for private tours. Get in touch!
