Philip Lee arrived in Winnipeg, fresh out of high school in Hong Kong, in the late summer of 1962.
The youngest of nine children from a well-to-do entrepreneurial family, Lee held a British passport. He was sponsored to Canada by his sister Angeline, who had moved to the Manitoba capital earlier to study education at the University of Manitoba.
His initial reaction upon arriving in Canada? "Wow, it's so spacious. The air is so clean," Lee said recently.
Members from Class' 60 are planning a 50th-anniversary reunion in Hong Kong in November 2010. Please visit the following site http://sites.google.com/site/wyk1960/ for more information or e-mail
Twenty members from WYKAAO/WYCHKOAA and guests attended a lunch with the Honourable Philip Lee (WYK60) at a Richmond Hill restaurant on October 4th. While enjoying a delicious dim-sum lunch, Philip looked back at his days in Wah Yan College, telling a few stories with his usual humorous notes. He also gave a glimpse of life in the first year as the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba. Pictures of the inauguration ceremony and the recent visit of the Queen were shared among the two tables of guests. Please click here to see the photos taken in the lunch event.
Leung Ying Wai writes, "We had a wonderful stay in Toronto. We appreciate the exceptional hospitality from Sonny and Patsy, Clement for his tireless run around while we were there, Peter Wong's great garden BBQ party, and of course all the old friends who found time to meet us. Hopefully we can return your favour when you join our cruise and come to Vancouver next year."

It's not something you see everyday but our Class of 1960 did it. They had their 50th Anniversary Reunion in November 2010 in Hong Kong. See the pictures taken in the campus and at a banquet. The two-part video (Part I, Part II) contains a lot of footage of our school, which will certain recall a lot of memories of your days in Wah Yan.
