There is high concentration of Chinese
immigrants working in the service industry and low wage jobs. Raising
the minimum wage would mean raising the quality of life for thousands
of working families in the Chinese community. Therefore a number of
organizations serving the Chinese community have joined Toronto &
York Region Labour Council to campaign for the $10 minimum wage. Immigrant Seniors Call for Change in the
Old Age Security Act
Ethnic minority seniors from four different
communities will come together in Downtown Toronto on March 13, 2007
to present a petition with over 10,000 signatures to the government
asking for action to improve life for immigrant seniors in Canada. Among

seniors suffer because of Canada’s social security and immigration
laws and policies. CCNCTO Lunar New Year Celebration and Open House

Canadian National Council (CCNC)'s We are delighted to inform you that the Chinese Canadian National
Council will be hosting its 25th Anniversary Tribute dinner on November
25th, 2005, at the Ruby Restaurant this year. We expect up to 500
people to be joining us to celebrate 25 Years of work in the Chinese
Canadian community. In addition, we will have a number of performances and will be conducting
our annual presentation of our Chinese Canadian Pioneer Awards
which recognize individuals of our community for their significant
contributions to systemic changes towards social justice and equality
in Canada. About the Chinese Canadian National Council
(CCNC) CCNC is a national umbrella organization with 27 member chapters
across Canada. It was formed 25 years ago as part of a successful
national campaign mounted by the Chinese Canadian community to protest
the irresponsible journalism of the CTV's W5 program "Campus
Giveaway", which alleged that "foreigners" were taking
away legitimate places from Canadian universities. The campaign was
very successful, leading to a public apology from CTV and the formation
of the Chinese Canadian National Council founded on April 20, 1980
along with some its first member chapters. The main objectives of
the CCNC are to promote fairness, equity and racial harmony, and to
encourage the full participation of all individuals in Canada. The
national office is responsible for coordinating public education activities
and advocacy work on issues of national interest to Chinese Canadians,
including immigration policies, human rights and Head Tax and Exclusion
Act redress. CCNC works very closely in collaboration with many community service
organizations, equity seeking groups and ethno-racial agencies to
build a barrier free society for all Canadians. Chinese Canadian National Council Toronto Chapter (CCNCTO)
is an organization of Chinese Canadians in the city of Toronto that
promotes equity, social justice, inclusive civic participation, and
respect for diversity through areas of public education, systemic
advocacy, community development and coalition building. Your support is essential to help us continue to serve our
communities in these difficult times. Your participation will
support us, whether you are purchasing dinner tickets, advertising
in our souvenir program book, and/or donating items for our auctions.
As with previous years, over 600 copies of our souvenir program book
will be published, which are expected to reach more than 10,000 people,
including our guests in attendance at the event, as well as community
organizations, governments and our members from across the country
in the coming year. We look forward to joining together with you and other friends of
CCNC at this great celebration. For more information, please contact
us at (416) 977-9871. Yours truly, Colleen Hua Matthew Lee President, CCNC National President, CCNC Toronto Chapter Education Roundtable Date: Friday,
