Calgary's Chinese Cultural Centre, with its traditional architecture and decor (styled after the Temple of Heaven in Beijing), is largest facility of its kind in North America.

It was formerly named James Short Park in honor of a turn-of-the-century school principal and alderman who led opposition to the establishment of Calgary's Chinatown in the early 1900s, and was renamed in 2022 as part of the City's efforts to become more inclusive.

[4] The area along Centre Street north of downtown and continuing for several blocks is also very Asian-influenced and is often thought of as the city's second Chinatown.

International Avenue is also a major multi-ethnic centre in the city's southeast with considerable Asian influence.

[7] When authorities released four of the quarantined subjects in August,[7] a mob descended on the Town's Chinese-owned laundries, smashing windows and attempting to burn the structures to the ground.
