The Canada Asia Pacific Business Association and over a hundred seniors spent a glittering evening filled with wonderful food and entertainment to celebrate this holiday season at the Steveston Community Centre in Richmond.

Lead by event chair Dennis Wong and over 70 youths from the Association’s Apprentice Entrepreneur Team, the evening was filled with joyous laughs and good company throughout. Youths from the Association took this opportunity to interact and learn from senior members of the community, showing them their deep appreciation for their contribution and dedication to our communities. This event also served as an excellent chance for them to understand the importance of participating and giving back to their communities.

Canada Asia Pacific Business Association was found in 1993 and established the Prime Time Club specifically for seniors. The Prime Time club organizes events and activities to help seniors active in our community. This year the Prime Time Club awarded its Member of the Year award to Mr. Wai Ho Ng. Mr. Ng is 80 years old but he continues to have the hearts and mind of a youth, spreading his happiness, determination, and commitment to those around him. Our Youths were amazed by the incredible energy of Mr. Ng and said Mr. Ng is an excellent example for us to follow. This is CAPBA’s fifth Senior Appreciations Dinner. With the support of many local community leaders and dignitaries such as Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China Consul Cheng Wenhua, MLA for Richmond East Honourable Linda Reid, Mayor of Richmond Malcolm Brodie and his wife Mrs. Christine Brodie, and City Councillor of City of Richmond Mr. Bill McNulty in attendance, this evening had made the holiday season especially memorable.
Whether it is promoting business opportunities or giving back to our communities, Canada Asia Pacific Business Association continues to demonstrate our passion and commitment.
