For the past three years I had been invited to Judge Mina Fung Citizen Court as a photographer to help the new Canadian celebrate their officially first day as Canadian. For the past two years I was the official photographer for Mississauga Chinese Business Association and the sponsor for the refreshment and photographer for the event. However in 2011 the Mississauga SafeCity became the official sponsor and because I am also the offcial photograher for SafeCity Mississauga I was priviledge to help out as the official photographer.
In the eighty when I received my Canadian Citizenship my wife and I regrettablely, were not able to have a photo of us receiving our citizenship. Remember at that time I have my single len reflect Pentax camera with a twenty four frame, one hundred ASA film which was not as easy to capture the moment as today point and shoot digital camera. That is why every photo that can bring a smile from everyone receiving the citizenship mean a lot to me and I thank everyone for sharing this day with me.
When Mr. Victor Oh the Chair of SafeCity Mississauga share with everyone in the court today to donate your free time as a Canadian, and to do volunteer services in any non profitable association he knew that those services you provide would bring more reward to you than the people you serve as a volunteer. He was actually speacking to all from his heart as he has serve in the Mississauga for years as the president of Mississauga Chinese Business Association and later Honorurary President. Currently he is serving as Chair of SafeCity Mississauga.
Also today the new Canadian were previledge to hear from Hon. Stella Ambler member of parliment from Mississauga South who brought with her greeting from Hon. Jason Kenny the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism wishing all the new Canadian a warm welcome to be become Canadian and congratulation. Ms. Stella Ambler spoke about the sacrifies her parent had to made migrating to Canada from Italy so that she could have a brighter future. Hopefully all the new Canadian can be inspired by her success to copy the same success story in the future.
Last but not least Mississauga newly elected member of parliment for Mississauga East Hon. Wladyslaw Lizon who was also an immigrant himself was at the Citizenship Court to welcome those new Canadians and to delivered to them the Prime Minister Hon Stephen Harper personal greeting to them.
