Winnipeg is a city of many cultures of which the Chinese community has always play an integral and significant part. Over the last several decades, as the number of Chinese immigrants increased, so has the need for redeveloping Winnipeg’s Chinatown.
In 1981, the redevelopment became a reality with the support of the three levels of government through the Winnipeg Core Area Initiative and the Chinese community itself. The Winnipeg Chinatown Development Corporation was established in 1981, and in 1983 the Winnipeg Chinese Cultural and Community Centre was formed as part the overall development project. The Centre is located on the second floor of the Dynasty Building, with an adjacent garden and a pond. The Dynasty building was completed in 1987.
温尼伯是一个文化多元、兼收并蓄的城市。其中，华人社区一直发挥着重要而显著的作用。在过去几十年里，随着华人移民数量的增加，温尼伯中国城的重建需求也随之增长。
1981年，在联邦、省和市三级政府以及华人社区的共同支持下，温尼伯中国城的重建项目正式启动。为推动这一进程，温城华埠发展协会（Winnipeg Chinatown Development Corporation）于1981年成立；随后，在1983年，作为整体开发项目的一部分，温尼伯最大且最有号召力的华人组织之一：温城中华文化中心，应运而生。该中心位于天朝大厦的二楼，毗邻美丽的中式花园和池塘。作为老一辈华侨倾尽多年心血的结晶，温城中华文化中心和温尼伯的各方各界都有着紧密联系与合作，是中国城的核心力量。天朝大厦于1987年竣工。
