Chinese signs workshop
The majority of people seemed to support the notion of a sign bylaw to enforce English on signs. About five per cent of signs approved by the City of Richmond since 2012 contained no English. Mixed-language signs have risen over the same period.

Dear Editor,

Two words come to mind when discussing the local signage issue. Inclusion and exclusion. Inclusion: Canadians welcoming people from every country in the world to live in Canada.Exclusion: How I and other people in Richmond feel when we see Chinese-only signs in Richmond.

Last time I checked, the two official languages in Canada are English and French.
