Phase 1: Concept
Earlier this year, the Vancouver Chinatown BIA Society Board of Directors came up with an idea to create a mascot for Chinatown. They looked at how various regions and communities in Japan have mascots of their own; even a shopping mall has its own mascot. Supplemented by the 2008 & 2010 Olympics and Expo 2010, Chinatown BIA decided to launch a Vancouver Chinatown mascot.
A major priority in developing the mascot will be the inclusion of community input. This will be done in the form of public online voting of final designs, the mascot naming contest, and space for open comments on our website and Facebook page.
