Winnipeg Chinese Cultural and Community Centre WINNIPEG CHINESE CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY CENTRE PROFILE Winnipeg is a city of many cultures of which the Chinese community has always been an integral and significant part. Over the last few decades, as the number of Chinese immigrants increased, so has the need for redeveloping Winnipeg’s Chinatown. In 1981, the redevelopment became a reality with the support of the three levels of government through the Winnipeg Core Area Initiative and the Chinese community itself. The Winnipeg Chinatown Corporation was established in 1981, and in 1983 the Winnipeg Chinese Cultural and Community Centre was incorporated as part the overall development project in response to a survey conducted in 1982 wherein 90% of the Chinese in Winnipeg indicated a need for such a facility. OBJECTIVES To promote and advance the awareness, knowledge and appreciation of the Chinese culture in relation to the multi-cultural mosaic of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canada. To increase understanding between the various Chinese and non- Chinese organizations in Manitoba. To encourage public understanding of matters relating to the affairs of the Chinese Community. To provide facilities for educational, cultural and recreational purposes. 1 WINNIPEG CHINESE CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY CENTRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2013 – 2014 The Rt. Hon. Edward R.

As per usual, the WCCCC’s schedule was jam-packed with wonderful events this past year. In particular, we were very pleased to revive Folklorama’s Chinese Pavilion after a six year hiatus. We came back with great excitement and success. Many of the annual programs and events continued this year including the Chinese New Year Banquet, the community volunteer income tax program, Chinese immigration passport renewal service, the Summer Lunch Concert Series, MCYC Cultural Arts Night, Zhonghua Cup basketball tournament and the Winnipeg Chinatown Street Festival. We also had many other special guests visit Winnipeg. The Consul General of the People’s Republic of China again made several visits to Winnipeg. The Consul General’s Office hosted the Chinese National Day celebration reception with many friends of the community. Another special visit this year included members of Taiwan’s National University of Physical Education. They made a tour stop in Winnipeg to showcase their Taiwan Impression show at the Technical Vocational Theatre. Finally, the Peking Acrobats came back to Winnipeg after two years to perform with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. We partnered with the WSO in a fundraising dinner and show and raised funds for the Winnipeg Chinese Community Fund. In closing, I would like to thank the many wonderful friends of the WCCCC for their continued support. In particular, I would like to say a special thank you to the hardworking Board of Directors, the staff and volunteers. The WCCCC’s success is largely due to their dedicated contributions and commitments. Finally, I would like to give an honourable mention to our departed Executive Director Kevin Fan. After eight years, he left the WCCCC to pursue other opportunities, and we would all like to wish him the very best. He played an integral role in the operations of our cultural centre during his tenure.

  • Blitz for Blood Held in City
    Blitz For Blood Held In City By Joyce Henderson As a national project, the Association of Kinsmen Clubs across Canada offered assistance to the Red Cross and other blood bank services, by carrying out a Blood Drive Program from February 19th to 28th, 1973. The local Kinsmen Club (chartered on April 7, 1946), had previously assisted the Red Cross in their annual Blood Drives in Flin Flon. This year (1973), the Kinsmen decided to make the needs and values of the Flin Flon Blood Donor Service better known to the public. They also wished to convince at least 200 more people to add their names to the 400 donors listed. The Blood Donor Service consisted of citizens whose concern was the well-being of others. Considering that there were eight major blood types, and that donor could give blood only once every ninety days, it was necessary to have a list of a few hundred names. In the event of an emergency, ten or more units of blood might be used in a twenty-four hour period, the 400 donors could not continue without more participation from the community. In 1973, there were 400 donors on the list who had donated blood over 25 times, and a large number of them over forty times. Of the 400 donors, 380 were men and two-thirds were employed `by HBMS. Over the thirty-one years volunteers of the Flin Flon Blood Donors Service had given 14,650 units of blood, an average of 470 pints a year. The Blood Donor Service started in Flin Flon in February 1942, under the direction of Dr.
