Very sad about disability advocate Alice Wong's passing. Her influence was immense in raising awareness of marginalized and disabled people. She lived a life that truly made this world a better place. Rest in power.

The growing challenges for arts nonprofits: a call for partnership and support - Pancouver
In a diverse country such as Canada, the arts do more than entertain—they connect us to our shared humanity.

Passing the art of traditional Cantonese culinary 'magic' to a new generation of B.C. chefs
