The Canadian Chinese Construction Association (CCCA) Attends "One Canada for All — United and Inclusion Fundraising Gala," Standing with the Community for Fairness and Justice
On the evening of May 1, 2026, the "One Canada for All — CUAME's United and Inclusion Fundraising Gala" was held at Hao Men Yan Restaurant (1571 Sandhurst Cir, Scarborough, ON) in Toronto. The event was organized by Canadians United Against Modern Exclusion (CUAME) in partnership with the United Promotion Council of Canadian Public Affairs (UPCCPA). The Canadian Chinese Construction Association (CCCA) sent representatives to attend the gala and contributed to the fundraising effort for CUAME, demonstrating tangible support for the anti-discrimination cause and fulfilling its social responsibility as a community organization.
The gala drew a distinguished gathering in a warm and energetic atmosphere. Speakers included CCCA Honorary Chair and former Senator Victor Oh; CCCA Honorary Chair and the 24th Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, the Honourable Philip Siu Lun Lee; Senator Yuen Pau Woo; and Member of Parliament Shaun Chen (MP, Scarborough North). Each shared their perspective on the challenges currently facing the Chinese-Canadian community, calling on all sectors to stand together against the stigmatization driven by "foreign interference" fears. Their heartfelt remarks were met with rounds of applause throughout the evening.
Other distinguished guests included Alan Ho, Regional Councillor for the City of Markham; Toronto City Councillor Jamaal Myers; and Jian Zhang, President of the United Promotion Council of Canadian Public Affairs (UPCCPA), among many other political figures, community leaders, and friends from various sectors. Their presence reflected a broad, cross-cultural and cross-partisan consensus in support of anti-discrimination efforts.
All proceeds from the evening will go toward CUAME's future work in anti-discrimination education, community advocacy, public policy initiatives, and legal aid. The Toronto event marked the first stop of CUAME's national fundraising series, with subsequent events to be held in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and other cities.
