Lieutenant Governor’s Message
As the Queen’s representative in Alberta, it gives me great pleasure to welcome everyone to William Yang’s China. As Calgary’s Chinatown’s celebrates its’ 100th Anniversary, it is fitting to have this presentation shown. Mr. Yang uses his talents as a story-teller and photographer to provide us with a unique glimpse of Chinese culture.
I am proud of my Chinese heritage and look for opportunities to learn more about the rich and diverse land, people, culture and traditions which embody China. Canada’s strength is built upon our willingness to embrace the best aspects of all the world’s cultures. Chinese immigrants to Canada have had a strong influence in the fine arts, in many fields of science, in government, the media and even gardening. Presentations such us this help to build bridges between cultures. Thank you to Theatre Junction GRAND for bringing this production to Calgary.
Please accept my very best wishes for the future.
Norman L. Kwong, CM AOE
Lieutenant Governor of Alberta
