In the Lunar New Year of Rabbit, the Hunan Association of Western Canada (“HAWC”) has accepted the resignation of the former President, Marcus Zou, and elected the new President, Rena Hu, plus adding Dr. Jin Bao as one of the Directors during the 1st meeting of the 9th Management Committee of HAWC on January 23, 2023.

We thank Marcus for his great efforts securing a great society during the most difficult time, the COVID-19 pandemic seasons.

We wish the new president, Rena, a great leadership steering the Hunan Association to a new level.

More activities will be scheduled and held, then stay tuned with hunan.ca.

The Hunan Association plans to revive the glory of Hunan.ca Library this year if the COVID-19 situation turns better.

The Hunan.ca Library (https://www.libib.com/u/canada/l/616909) had been created and operated by our former President, Tom Luo, in late 2018. Here is a snapshot of the Library’s main page:

In conjunction with the Library, the Hunan Association was active to organize a Reading Club holding quite a few reading sessions in Calgary’s Central Library in order to encourage and foster the habit of reading, especially for youth. Here are some good memories:

Encouraged by the great success of the CareerReady Program in summer 2021, our premium partner, HaccTech, continues hosting the very program at the very beginning of the new year 2022.

There are 2 training series opened on Jan 10, 2022:
1. CareerReady Program: including Interview training & practice; resume building; hands-on Practical learning in the manner of a small group or 1-on-1 coaching.
2. Data Science with Python (DSP2201): including the hot topics of Data Analytics and Machine Learning.

As planned during last Council meeting, the Cooking Roadshow Series event debuts today 06 February 2021.

The Kung Pao Spicy Chicken has been chef’ed by our Hunan Cooking Godress – Nancy Ouyang. Let’s check out how she showcases the art of cooking and how spicy the chicken dish is (VIRTUALLY).

Dr. Chun Yu Ma is one of 27 authors, successful scholars and professionals who currently live in North America, but all graduated from Hunan Normal University in the early 1980s. They shared their stories and long journeys to the U.S. and Canada, how they had stood up on their fathers’ shoulders and gone though the difficult times, some with help from their less fortunate and under educated siblings, to have become who they are today. This book is a collection of 27 inspirational, history oriented stories that reflected the history and culture of Hunan and China in the past 3 decades.

12 students graduated today after completing 15 Advanced Python classes and 5 Fundamental classes starting from May. We didn’t rent fancy classrooms, but we have achieved more than the most prestigious institution or University can offer. 我们没有租借高档的教室，但是我们提供了名校一样的教育。
