It promises to be a special event. In particular, we are happy that

who was with the Women's Ambulance Corps during WWII will be fielding
questions. We will also see a short video clip of the late Douglas
Jung, WWII Veteran and Canada's first Chinese Member of Parliament.
During the reception, there will be ample opportunity to meet and
mingle with Asian Veterans of many heritages. We will also have on
display the Display Panel of Chinese Canadian contribution to WWII and
there will be the Western Canadian premiere display of the Japanese
Diversity Panel.
The ever-able “Fiddlers on the Roof” string quartet will entertain us
