This year, our association participated in the HKU mentorship program again.\u00a0 Some of our directors and members act as mentors for a number of exchange students.\u00a0 We got together at John Liu\u2019s residence once again in November 2007.<\/p>\n
The gathering has become our tradition to extend a warm welcome to the students.\u00a0 We enjoyed the quizzes on general knowledge on HKU and Canada.\u00a0 For those of us who have graduated years ago, it was a real good exercise that reminded us of those good old days.<\/p>\n
Of course our hosts, Cecilia and John, never disappoint.\u00a0 Delicious meals, TV games and karaoke! \u00a0What a warm and enjoyable gathering to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 21st October, by some magic, the weather turned out to be the finest in the month. It was cool with some sunshine and a total of 39 of us, friends and relatives of the\u00a0association with some exchange students from HK joined the Tai Chi Group for a hiking in the Rouge Valley Conservation Area.<\/p>\n
It was a great occasion for getting together, chatting on the way and enjoying the fall colors. Though the leaves were not as red as in the previous year, the weather was dry and it was most entertaining to hear the rattle walking on the fallen leaves along the trail.\u00a0 It was an easy walk of 8 km and it took us around two and a half hours to finish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went for a walk at the Oak Ridge Trail, Uxbridge on July 1, 2007 to celebrate the Canada Day.
\nIt was a warm sunny day with light breezes. A group of 50 alumni and friends were led by our
\nveteran leader, Thomas Wong, for another outdoor activity. To city dwellers like you and me, this is
\na great opportunity to stretch your legs and exercise your muscles. Oak Ridge Trail is a small
\nsection of Oak Ridges Moraine to the northeast of Markham, it took us about 3.5 hours to finish.We then got together for dinner and a glass of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About twenty-two of our directors and alumni had a dinner get together with V.C. Professor Lap-chee Tsui on Sunday June 10 at the Ambassador Chinese Restaurant in Richmond Hill. This time Professor Tsui was in town to receive an Honorary Doctorate from University of Toronto to honor his outstanding achievement.<\/p>\n
As usual, Professor Tsui gave us a very thorough update of the development at our alma mater and the campus expansion plan. All of us felt very honored by the presence of V.C. and his endless effort to reach out to the alumni members. However, we felt bad that V.C. did not have enough time to eat and properly digest the food!
