CCEC's Excellence Award to Chia

I am deeply grateful to the jury of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Council of Canada for honoring me with the "𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀" award at its prestigious 2024 gala. 🙏

Congratulations to all the laureates and winners! 🌟 Their growing influence is a source of inspiration for all of us. Their success highlights the immense impact of the Asian community on the advancement of our collective society, here in Quebec and across Canada. 🇨🇦🌏

This exceptional evening, held in the majestic setting of the St. James Theatre, would not have been possible without the generosity and dedication of philanthropists and esteemed entrepreneurs like 王李芹美 Pierrette Wong, Chee Sing Yip (Kim Phat), Dr. Philippe Wang, and Kheng Ly (Groupe Brivia).

It also wouldn’t have been possible without the friendship and genuine appreciation of politicians such as the Hon. Martin Cauchon and the Hon. Denis Coderre, for whom I had the privilege of training Quebec business leaders to better prepare for the trade mission to China led by our former mayor. The support of leaders like Senators Victor Oh, Yuen Pau Woo, and the Hon. Chanphirum KIM also reflects the peaceful yet tenacious representation of our community.

A huge thank you to the visionary bankers who recognize the courage and triple effort required of immigrant entrepreneurs to succeed in a new land.

Above all, my deepest gratitude goes to my life partner, who supports me with unwavering faith and encourages me to freely pursue my goals according to my ambitions.

Inspired by these dynamic leaders, I am more motivated than ever to continue playing my role as a bridge-builder to promote diversity and foster multicultural collaboration. Together, we build bridges, demystify the courageous journeys of immigrants, and drive initiatives that change the world. 🌉

Thank you to the CECC for its outstanding work as an organization that promotes collaboration between Canadian and Asian businesses and highlights the contributions of Asian entrepreneurs to our society.
