An Invitation from Our Chairman

Dear Members and Friends,

On behalf of the Canadian Chamber’s Board of Directors and Supervisors, I would like to thank you for your continued support and patronage to the Canadian Chamber. This year has been another successful year for the Chamber, both in terms of activity and membership.

Our signature event, Celebration Canada, drew 9,000 people this year, benefiting from being able to hold the event in the same location the past four years: Hakka Cultural Park. We hope to see you out at Celebration Canada 2020 on June 27th!

The fifth annual MacKay Gala Charity Ball was held this year and we are already busy planning our sixth gala for 2020. The event is a tribute to a great Canadian, whose legacy is well known and respected in Taiwan. By working with MacKay Memorial Hospital, and through the generous participation of sponsors, we were able to raise over 365,000 NT for International Humanitarian Aid in 2019. This event has become a successful CCCT signature event and has earned its place amongst other well-established balls and galas in Taiwan. To date, we have raised close to 1.8 million dollars for MacKay Memorial Hospital.

On a personal note, I would also like to thank our members and the Board of Directors for supporting me as Chairman. It is always an honour and a privilege for me to be associated with the Chamber and the good work it does! The Chamber’s Board of Directors and committee members are always looking for new people to get involved and I encourage anyone who is interested and has time, to join our all volunteer board in this very worthwhile cause.

Finally, I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

2016 has been an extraordinary year for the CCCT as we were able to continue to build our membership and to hold signature events with great success. The 2016 Celebration Canada was very well attended; and with strong support from the CTOT and the MacKay Memorial Hospital, the 2nd Annual MacKay Charity Gala — celebrated jointly with the CTOT’s 30th Anniversary — was a memorable evening for all of our guests.

The CCCT Small Business Committee and the Business Luncheon Committee continued to see strong growth. Looking into 2017, as Canada celebrates the 150th Birthday, the CCCT is planning for more exciting events to celebrate this special year. The CCCT welcomes you to attend the AGM to find out more!

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Celebration Canada volunteers—the event wouldn’t be successful without our great volunteers and countless hours of hard work!

Refreshment and drinks will be served. We hope all members and friends of the CCCT can come and join us!

We look forward to seeing you there. Please don’t forget to mark your calendar!
