Leaders of Tomorrow Program 2012

Greatest Love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

       In the song above made popular by Whitney Houston remind us that our greatest assets is our children.
Leaders of Tomorrow is just the program we needed to kick start our talented young children to be future leaders. A little investment today goes a long way in the future to build a strong and safer Mississauga.

Streetsview Remembrance Day Parade

November 11th 2011

Today all over Canada from big city to small villages, Canadians of all ages gather amid mournful skirl of bagpipes, marching cadets, military officers, police, nurses and tears to honour our nation heros whom scacrifies all for our freedom.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.

Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

The "Ode of Remembrance" is an ode taken from Laurence Binyon's poem "For the Fallen".

124 new Canadian join the family

October  12th 2011

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.

Mississauga Judicial Inquiry Report

October 3rd, 2011

The verdict is now out and the Honorable Justice Douglas Cunningham had reported that Mayor Hazel McCallion broke the common sense rule regarding her conflict of interest in dealing with World Class Development due to her position and office as the Mayor of Mississauga. World Class Development Incorporated was incorporated in February 22nd. 2005 by solicitor D. Jared Brown and his colleague Joseph Caprara as per Mr. Peter McCallion instruction.

According to page 28 of the report of the Mississauga Judicial Inquiry (Updating the Ethical Infrastructure Executive Summary), "There is no doubt that the Mayor's interest in the World Class Development project was driven principally by her desire for a four or five-star hotel in Mississauga, and not simply by a desire to assist her son. However, the mayor knowingly used her public office and her relationship with OMERS (Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System) to influence the co-owners to agree to concessions that benefited WCD. She knew her son Peter McCallion stood to gain financially if the deal succeeded. For this reason, the exercise of influence put her in conflict, both real and apparent".
