Once a year the Chinese Senior organized and displayed their talent in the typical Chinese style on Chinese New Year as part of our traditional New Year family gathering to celebrate and greet friends and relatives’ prosperity and good health. Last year the group gathers at Mississauga Valley Community Centre on a smaller scale with about two hundreds people in attendances on Sunday February 21st., 2010. As usual, all three levels of governments and other ethnic group and association were there to help the Chinese Senior celebrate this lunar rabbit new year.
By two o’clock in the afternoon the crowd was already packing the small downstairs hall of the Saviour Of the World Chinese Catholic Mission on 30 Bristol Road, Mississauga with high expectation of this year feature performances by the senior. The only Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Mississauga Mr. Bob Dechert was on hand to show support for the leadership of the Xin Tien Ti Senior Association that was instrumental in helping the local Mississauga Chinese Senior live a productive and active life in Mississauga. The greatest supporter for the Xin Tien Ti Senior Association from the Ontario Legistrature and former Labors Minister Hon Peter Fonseca is no stranger to the group was there to wish the senior a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year. Last but not the least Mr. Victor Oh the honor man in Mississauga for 2010 and Chair of the SafeCity Mississauga as well as Honary President of the Mississauga Chinese Business Association was always there to lend a hand for the senior.
