It was presented at the 2003 ACCE Awards Gala. It documents the contributions of Chinese Canadians in the Canadian military services in World War I and World War II. The sacrifices of the Chinese Canadian war veterans paved the way for the removal of the Chinese Head Tax and Chinese Exclusion Act, a regretful page in Canadian history. The film was subsequently broadcast by CFMT-TV, now known as OMNI-TV.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"16\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"320\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JJ81YugaDFs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acce.ca\/new\/old_site\/images\/dragonspirit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"147\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"style29\" align=\"justify\">\u201cDragon Spirit\u201d was produced by ACCE and presented at the 2001 ACCE Awards Gala.
