Established in February 1992, Calgary Jiang Zhe Shanghai Association has a history of 30 years. There have been 5 presidents in her history. The current president is Chen, Bingsheng. There are more than 670 members currently.
The mandate of our association is friendship, care, support, innovation, fellowship, and mutual development. We work hard to unite immigrants to promote Chinese culture, participate in Canadian multiculturalism, and contribute to unite overseas Chinese.
During the past years, we have set up 14 interest groups, covering English classes, dancing classes, musical instrument classes, computer classes for the elderly, children’s dance classes, Tai Chi classes, chorus teams, opera classes, qipao group, etc. This year, we held the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Association at the Calgary Cultural Centre, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, sent a special congratulatory letter to the Association. Some MPs, MLAs and municipal councilors attended the event. The members of the Association contributed a wonderful presentation to the audience with their programs and talent. The feedback to this event was incredibly positive.
We also have a large vigorous volunteer team, which plays a important role in various activities. During the pandemic, we continued our activities. We carried out activities from online. We held 15 online workshops to provide emotional support to members of the community, for which we received awards and grants from the government.
We organize members to travel around the world and helped them to open their eyes and enjoy their life.
During the past 30 years, we have actively participated in the networking activities of associations across Canada.
We have frequent exchanges with associations in major cities in Canada, and we have jointly held many big activities with these associations. We have received more than ten delegations, visiting groups, and theatrical performance groups from China, and greatly contributed to the multiculturalism of Canada.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai area are one of the most prosperous areas in the southeast part in China. We are a big warm family, and a vibrant and influential association in Calgary.
