The Chinese came to Canada for construction jobs. They were hired to work on building the Canadian Pacific Railway.
17,000 Chinese men were hired, They were only paid $1 per day and they were supposed to buy their own gear, camping suplies and food. Most people didn't like them and/or didn't trust them
About 600 Chinese railroad employees died. Some reasons are dynamite explosions, weather, natrual disasters and sicknesses.
