Every city in Metro Vancouver, in one place

Cantonese classes for kids in Metro Vancouver 大溫哥華兒童廣東話班

Pick a city to see its classes, or browse them all below.

Every city on the map in one place, from Vancouver and Burnaby to Richmond, Coquitlam, Surrey and New Westminster. Whether your family has spoken Cantonese here for generations or you've just arrived from Hong Kong and would rather read Chinese, this is a free and easy way to find Cantonese classes, Saturday schools, playgroups and storytimes for your kids.

Filter by city, age, day and price, or by in person and online. Hybrid programs show up under both. Online classes, including library and school-district ones, are gathered on the online page.

Neighbourhood drop-ins are the kaifong (街坊) option: often free, relaxed, and a nice way to meet other families. Once you find a program you like, book directly with them. Prices and times change, so confirm before you go. Know a class we're missing? Tell us.

FAQ 常見問題

What if a program doesn't show a price?
