Mississauga Chinese Business Association celebrate Chinese New Year at City Hall

Thursday Febuary 3rd 2011

Not surprisingly another year has gone by and once I am invited to photograph the ceremony and celebration. This year the world is celebrating the year of the rabbit.

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.

New Beginnings (Fund Raising For Credit Vally Hospital)

Every year the Mississauga Chapter of the New Beginning will organized a fund rising Chinese New Year gala. Each year they will pre announce their designated charity or Hospital foundation. This year the New Beginning will work with the Credit Valley Hospital foundation in the hope to raise Canadian ten thousand dollars.

Many of the volunteer for the evening event paid for their own tickets and donated large amount of items to be auction off during the diner. Many of the young and older Chinese members of the community even paid for a chance to serenade the dinners from a huge selection of karaoke songs available for the evening.

Many of the Chinese immigrant are traditionally family centric and hopefully with the encourage of the New Beginnings they will encourage the new Canadian to be more civic minded.

Mayor Hazel Celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year at Chinese Temple on New Year Eve

Every year on Chinese New Year eve the Fo Guang Shan Temple in Mississauga on 6525 Millcreek Drive, Mississauga open its door to the thousand of worshippers coming to the temple to prayer for blessing for the coming year. This year the temple was honour to have her worship the Mayor of Mississauga Hazel McCallion celebrating the festivity with the citizens of Mississauga at the temple and ringing the bell to usher the new year along with Councilor Pat Saito from Ward 9 and MPP Mr. Bob Delaney, Mississauga, Streetsville as well as Mr. Victor Oh the current Chair of SafeCity Mississauga.

According to eastern traditional horoscope the coming 2011 year of the White Rabbit should came with more or less tranquil nature, but definitely must be delicate and sensitive to the word around. Of course on the surface the 2011 year of the Rabbit is sensitive, sophisticated and confident period, but... Anyway balanced and calm conditions of the 2011 year of the Rabbit may be easily weakened by only one unpredictable situation after which only titanic effort may return all developments of the 2011 year back on track. So make sure you don't ask too much and don't expect too much from the year of the White Rabbit since 2011 year has something to show us and even the best intellect could hardly imagine what the 2011 year of the White Rabbit got in store for us.
