Welcome to WYKAAO
The two Wah Yan College Alumni Associations in Ontario have jointly organized a virtual alumni gathering with guests from Hong Kong. Our honoured guests include Fr. Stephen Chow (Supervisor of both Wah Yan colleges, Bishop-Elect of Hong Kong), the two Wah Yan principals (Mr. Warren Chung and Mr. Davis Chan) and Dr. Ying-Lun So (Assistant Supervisor, WYHK)
- Date: Friday, July 16
- Time: 8pm (Toronto time)
This will be an informal get-together of about 1.5 hours in duration. We will hear first-hand latest updates about our mother school and invite ideas of maintaining connections among overseas alumni chapters.
Thanks to the dedication of WYKAAO board members, we continue to meet on a virtual platform to discuss matters related to the alumni association. Everyone has been contributing ideas on how we can maintain the organization during this difficult time, and explore new opportunities under the new normal.
A bright side of the flourishing of video conferencing technology: the geographical barrier sudden seems easy to break down. We have successfully recruited Eric Li (’95), who resides in British Columbia, to rejoin the board of WYKAAO.
