Look to the usual suspects:
A new monument commemorating the Vietnamese "boat people" sits at the entrance to the park near International Avenue at 1907 26th St. S.E. The park is built on land leased by the city, overlooking Calgary's skyline.
Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s were referred to as "boat people" because many who fled post-war Vietnam did so in over-crowded boats across the South China Sea to refugee camps in Southeast Asia.
