"The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, it will serve to honour contributions and achievements made by Canadians, who represent the full breadth of our society."
Congratulations to Peter Wong (62), our director and Peter Chang (61) who are recipients of the QE II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Congratulations also go to Edmund Kin Yu Ho 何建宇 (64) and Larry Yip (67) of Vancouver who are also recipients of the medal.
2013年02月05日 蘋果日報 副刊 (文章提及蘇文擢老師和薛偉祥老師)
也斯喪禮，小思老師也來了，靈前致祭，肅穆哀傷，壇上悼念，情摯意真，我的眼睛有點兒潤濕了。昔日跟也斯同窗的一幕幕，清晰地盤旋眼前。半個世紀，往事豈是如煙。我們唸的是「端正」小學，正校在灣仔，分校北角，有兩處校舍，一在北角道，另一在春秧街。
