Pre-Christmas Activities




In Macau, the days before Christmas are busy as they are in Canada. There has been last minute shopping to Senado Square which is beautifully decorated at this time of year. There have also been trips to the Venetian Hotel where the school choir (with Emily as a member) has been singing Christmas carols for all of the shoppers and tourists.
We would like to wish all of you a fantastic Christmas!!

U of A Centenial Celebration


The University of Alberta hosted a ceremony and banquet in Hong Kong in October to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The celebration was open to any current or previous graduates, so a number of us from the school decided to attend. I particularly enjoyed the experiences as all graduates were introduced and then allowed to walk across the stage to receive a commemorative certificate from the Dean of their respective faculty. I also received congratulations from the U of A President and was able to take a photo with her after the ceremony.
