HKCBA - The Hong Kong Canada Business Association
In 1996, the 3 Founding Sponsors, The Hong Kong-Canada Business Association - Winnipeg Section, The Hongkong Bank of Canada, and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada originally combined their efforts to bring the Dragon Boat Festival to Manitoba. It is in large part due to their continued support that the Dragon Boat Festival will once again be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, August 19 & 20 2000 at the Forks historic site on the Assiniboine River.
: The
Hong Kong-Canada Business Association - Winnipeg Section
(HKCBA) is a proud sponsor of the "2000 Manitoba
Dragon Boat Festival". The HKCBA was
established in 1984 as a private, independent, and non-profit
organization in Canada to promote bi-lateral economic
relationship between Canada and Hong Kong. Its mandate has been
expanded to promote economic co-operation between the western
hemisphere through Canada and Asia through Hong Kong. HKCBA
is now distinguished by being the largest bilateral business
association in Canada. It is also Hong Kong's most active and
largest overseas association. In addition to the National Office
governed by the National Board, it has a network of 10 sections
across Canada in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatchewan,
Winnipeg, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Atlantic Canada.
The Association maintains close ties with the government's
business organizations and private enterprises in both Canada and
Hong Kong.
The Hongkong Bank of Canada welcomes a new Assistant VP and Manager to Winnipeg and to Dragon Boat Racing......Blair Halliday has now joined us in Manitoba. He has finally adjusted to our wintry weather and now waits for our hot, dry summer and Dragon Boat Racing. Blair has been with the Hongkong Bank of Canada for 14 successful years. Previous to working in Winnipeg, Blair spent most of his banking years in Alberta and Ontario. A graduate of Business Admin, Blair is sure to contribute new ideas for the 2000 Manitoba Dragon Boat Festival. Blair is married and has 2 children. His family can't wait to get into a Dragon Boat and start paddling on the Assiniboine River at the "2000 Manitoba Dragon Boat Festival". Make sure and pop by the Hongkong Bank of Canada's booth and say "Hi". Here's to another successful year in Dragon Boating. Glad to have you on board Blair.
Manitobans have definitely had their fill of snow, shovels, and icy roads. Many Manitobans substituted all that for paddles, lifejackets, and dragon-headed boats. That's right, August 19 & 20 2000, the "2000 Manitoba Dragon Boat Festival" will take place.
As a founding sponsor of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada is extremely pleased with the ever-increasing enthusiasm in the city for the sport of Dragon Boat Racing, and we look forward to returning in 2000 as a sponsor once again. This year's event is expanding from 1 day of racing to 2, which is further proof of the increased awareness and interest in Dragon Boat Racing, not only in our province, but across Canada and throughout the world. We welcome back all of the sponsors and teams from last year, and look forward to meeting the new teams in the festival this August. Good luck with your practices and we'll see you at the races!
