Wah Yan Alumni Activity Day organized by the alumni associations of WYK and WYHK in Ontario was held on Sunday September 8. This year we were joined by Sacred Heart Canossian College (SHCC) Alumni Association Ontario with a total of about 70 participants. It was a crisp and sunny morning, perfect for hiking the Sheppard's Bush and Oak Ridges Trail in Aurora, followed by a dim-sum lunch at Golden Palace Banquet Hall. Click here to see more pictures.
Over 30 attended the networking lunch, many of whom are relatively new or returning to Canada in the last couple of years, on Sunday July 28 at Chef 88 Oriental Cuisine. Following a brief self-introduction and a sumptuous lunch, alumni went off to talk in small groups, knowing each other better and exchanging contacts. This has been a most successful and fruitful networking gathering. Click here to see more pictures.
