Leaders of Tomorrow 2012

Sunday May 27th 2012 Living Art Centre, Mississauga.

In 2010 Mayor Hazel and Mr. Pierre Wong start up a challenge to woo Mississauga youth to excel as leaders of tomorrow. However, as we see today the youth not only meet the challenge but take upon themselves to to crusade their course. Todays, events is to honour those youths for their outstanding leadership and dedication to up the ente of youth leadership.

According to Pierre this summer they are gearing up to launch their summer youth moneywise and leadership programs with a series of seminars and urging this selected few leaders to proclaim the message to their peer. Althought the school are very apt to equipt our city youth to be schoolars but the business community are hoping to fine tune them as responsible moneywise future leaders.

Carassauga 2012 May 25th to 27th

Friday May 25th. 2012 to Sunday May 27th. 2012

This year Carassauga is unlike previous year where each pavilion held their own opening ceremonies. Unfortunately, like many previous year I was at the Hershey Centre / Sport Complex capturing the opening ceremony there with Mr. Jake Dheer as usual with his charm and wit stirred up the crowd to a wild joyous occassion thereby missing the rest of the pavilion opening ceremonies.

Words do not do justice to describe the excitment and experience you get when you travel to over sixty cultures and twenty six pavilions in three days. You have to visit them all to thrill yourself with the varity of cultures dances and display as well as taste the varity of foods each culture offers.

Although the pavilion are spread all over Mississauga, you do not have to trouble yourself driving around town and hunting for the near none or lone parking sport to enjoy the world of Carassauga because Mississauga transit were easily available to drive you around.

Free Public Education Forum on Vaginal Atrophy

For many women experiencing menopause, hot flashes, night sweats and disrupted sleep is a reality…but there is one significant symptom that is kept under the covers. Lesser known reality is that up to 75% of postmenopausal women are suffering from the symptoms of vaginal atrophy (VA).  Vaginal atrophy (VA) is a chronic condition, where the vaginal walls become thin, fragile and inflamed due to a reduction of estrogen.

It’s not common for women and doctors to discuss such symptoms, and yet there are effective treatments. That’s why Dr. Brown will be speaking at an educational public forum on May 15 in Mississauga, Ontario – Living Arts Centre, where a group of women are invited to learn about VA, and most importantly, learn how speaking to a doctor can improve their quality of life.

Women are invited to join Dr. Vivien Brown, MDCM, CCFP, FCFP, NCMP, NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner, Vice President, MEDISYS Health Group, Inc., as she says that it is normal for women to experience symptoms of VA such as itching, burning, irritation and painful intercourse, but that they are not symptoms often discussed.

Mississauga City Celebrate the 2012 Water Dragon Chinese New Year

January 23rd. 2012 at the Main Hall in Mississauga City Hall.

Traditionally the Chinese belief that the Dragon though a creatur of myth and legend was colourful and exotic. It is a symbol of good fortune and emblem of power. Unlike it western malevolent  monster counterpart the Oriental dragon is regarded as a sacred beast. The charecteristics of people born under the Dragon sign, which recurs once every 12 years are the free spirit and a law unto themselves. Dragons need to be as free as the wind and the clouds that are their domain. Dragons, one way or another, usually make it to the top. However the downside for the Dragon is they must be aware of their natures because too much enthusiasm and too much beating of the Dragon wings can leave them exhausted and their ambitions unfulfilled. Similarly the Dragon prides can prevent them from accepting help from others when badly needed.

2012 is the Water Dragon year. Water has a calming influence on the Dragon's bold and fiery temperament. It may not be able to quench the Dragon fire but it enables the dragon to direct it more thoughfully, and makes this kind of  Dragon more sensitive to others and more cooperative.

Like every Chinese New Year the Mississauga Chinese Business Assoxiation and its members along with the Mississauga City council gather annually at the main hall in the Mississauga City Hall to usher in the Lunar Waterr Dragon Chiese New Year. togather with the Vietnamese, Korean New Year celebration.With much appreciation to our Ocean's Supermarket for their annual sponsorship to provide lunches for those attending the celebration.
