Welcome to WYKAAO
Welcome to WYKAAO
On the occasion of Joseph Chu’s visit to Hong Kong, Gilbert Tsui shouted “fall in!” and a few of us managed to get together for a happy night at Hyatt Regency, Shatin, on October 28, 2010. Old timers returning overseas have always been good pretext for these get-togethers for otherwise too-busy people. On the night, lots of reminiscences of past gaiety were swapped, bringing alive things that happened over 30 years ago!
Expo67 took place in Montreal with the theme, "Man and His World".
Forty three years later, Expo2010 opened to the world in Shanghai with the theme, "Better City, Better Life".
S.L. Kong (53), who was involved in designing the Canadian Pavilion in Expo 1967, visited Expo2010. He shares his thoughts in an article in the Features Page. His expo album is on the Pictures Page.
Kelvin Ng (95), former President of WYKAAO, was back to Toronto for a short visit. He joined the Board meeting on November 4th, keeping everyone up-to-date on what’s happening in his work and personal life of the past few years. He also agreed to post pictures and articles to our website in the near future. Stay tuned! Alex Cheng (09) also attended the meeting as a guest. He is looking forward to entering university in Ontario next year; we are most happy to see a young and new force joining our association.
Philip Lee (WYK 60), Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, was awarded Chinese Canadian Legend at a celebration event hosted by the Asian Business Network Association in a Richmond Hill hotel grand ballroom. Dignitaries, government officials and other VIPs were invited to the occasion (see this video clip). Members from both Wah Yan alumni associations in Ontario also attended the ceremony to share the joy and are proud of what Philip has achieved (see the award presentation here).
Pictures of the Gala Dinner can be viewed here.

On a warm Friday night in October, about 30 alumni, guests and former staff of WYK and WYHK attended a dinner with Fr. Coghlan who was visiting Toronto. Our beloved Father showed his usual charm and warmth by greeting everyone personally throughout the dinner. He joked that he recognized most attendants’ faces and names but not necessarily associating them. It was a long and enjoyable gathering that certainly brought back a lot of memories of days in Wah Yan. We wish Fr. Coghlan all the best and hope he will visit us again soon! (see the pictures here and a short video clip here)
Thank WYCHKOAA for sharing their pictures and video, click here and here to view.
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.
