(2012.02.04) Mr. Laurence Tam writes from Hong Kong, "... The art event I took part today was the Prize Presentation Ceremony for the “Young Geniuses: Art Competition-cum-Exhibition 2012” at the Lam Woo Conference Centre of the Baptist University. This competition/exhibition aims to promote and develop young children’s creativity at the age range of 1 to 6, and to raise the awareness of parents and teachers on the significance of nurturing children’s creativity. The idea of the event was first put forward by Prof. Dominic Lam, a past student of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong. He is the Head of the University's newly created Institute of Creativity (IoC). The mission of the IoC is to explore mechanisms by which creative talents can be developed and nurtured.
Chinese Canadian Legend recognizes and honours Chinese Canadians who have made significant contributions to the community and Canada through outstanding achievements in their field. Award Gala Co-chair Ms. Alexandra Ngan says that the award recipients’ struggles against obstacles and their ultimate success, their wisdom and their virtues provide a source of inspiration and for new and old immigrants alike, not just for the Chinese community but also mainstream society.
The Award Gala was successfully held on Saturday, Nov 12 at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel. The Honourable Philip Lee ('60), Lieutenant Govornor of Manitoba, was one of the award presenters for the evening. Our president among other WYKAAO members also attended and showed our support.

Thanks to our 58 generous supporters, Team WYKAAO raised a good sum for the Terry Fox Run Foundation to fight cancer. We beat last year's goal by a short nose (5010/4900). It was a beautiful day for the run/walk. Our youngest member made a 10 Km Run, while others walked comfortably in the sun. After the event, they all visited the quaint village farmers' market.
