My Dad was involved for many years with the CCNC London Chapter (https://www.londonccnc.com/), a Chinese Canadian community that celebrates its heritage, embraces diversity and builds bridges with other communities. He served a term as president and was an ongoing member of the Board of Directors. Your donations will contribute to the functions and activities below that the CCNC London Chapter executes on to sustain and perpetuate support from its members as well as citizens of the City of London, making it one of the most popular non-profit organizations of Southwestern Ontario.
