Tonight I attended with a few colleagues of Seneca the annual New Year celebration dinner of ACCE, the Association of Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs. We cooperate with them during weekend events on professional development for their members. It was a long evening with speeches, singers (among them the Mayor of Markham who is from Italian descent but can sing songs in Mandarin and Cantonese), lots of door prizes and food, food and more food. Always an interesting crowd in this community of Markham where 40% of the households speak Mandarin.
The MP for the region is John McCallum, who till last week was the federal Minister of Immigration and who will be as of next week the new Ambassador of Canada in China.
