History
CHANG Yip Kee was 25 years old when he arrived in Canada in 1913, about a year before the outbreak of WWI. His younger brother, Chang Yun Ho, had arrived a few years earlier in 1908.
It is believed that Yip Kee worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway when he first came to Canada. Then, around 1926, he joined his brother Yun Ho who had bought a farm in Vancouver near Knight Street and East 28th Avenue.
Yip Kee worked on the farm until his death on August 18, 1945, right at the end of WWII. Yip Kee’s body was sent home to China after the war ended.
Yip Kee had four daughters and one adopted son, all of whom remained in China.
