Mindful of the difficulties he experienced as a new Canadian, he has used his many abilities to bring people together. By building an extensive resource network to assist Chinese immigrants with legal, medical and financial matters, he has helped many to successfully connect in their new community and maintain their rich cultural heritage. His volunteer leadership with the Chinatown Multicultural Society, the Mah Society and the Chinese Benevolent Association has helped Edmonton to develop as one of Canada's most vibrant and ethnically diverse cities.
