    History Culminating Reflection William K. L. Lore was an inspiration to many Canadians during his time. If I could meet him, I would ask how it felt to not only be the first Chinese Canadian to enter the Canadian civil service, but the first Chinese Canadian in the Royal Canadian Navy and in any of the British Commonwealth navies. Another question that would concern him would be, what made him study Mining Engineering, and if he was not able to study Mining Engineering, what else he would like to study. Furthermore, I would ask him about why he wanted to join the Royal Canadian Navy, as he most likely knew that people of Canada were racist and why he kept attempting to join the Royal Canadian Navy, even after he was denied entrance three times.
