Special Announcement Regarding Paul Yee Celebration Dinner
March 2020 - As the global events concerning COVID-19 ("coronavirus") unfold, the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC (CCHSBC) Board of Directors is actively monitoring updates from our provincial and public health authorities closely. At this time, the Public Health Agency of Canada has assessed the risk associated with COVID-19 as low for the general population. While the risk level may be low, we have spoken to our guest of honour Paul Yee who lives in Toronto. After significant consideration, we have jointly made the decision to postpone our March 28th dinner to a future (undetermined) date.
Given this fluid situation, we are offering guests the option to either:
For guests planning to attend our next celebration, don't feel obligated to email us. We will presume that those guests wish to have their dinner credit held. We encourage ticket holders to keep their credit in light of our volunteer capacity and processing fees.
Guests who wish to receive a refund for their dinner ticket(s) should email us at info@cchsbc.ca. Please be aware that CCHSBC is run by volunteers (without staff support), and that we will require more processing time than usual.
Should there be any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers and donors who have been working hard over the past several months to put together this event.
Once again, we thank you for your support and attention to this important matter. We look forward to celebrating the achievements of Paul Yee and the other prize winners with you in the future.
