Six months ago, we began preparing for today’s significant event—the 2025 Annual General Meeting, which was held as scheduled at our clubhouse at 1:00 PM on Saturday, June 21, 2025.
This meeting was charged with three important tasks:
First, President Bing sheng Chen delivered the annual work report for the current council, reviewing the progress, challenges, and achievements of the past year.
Second, Chief Financial Officer Weiguo Wang presented the financial report to the assembly, providing members with a clear and transparent account of the financial operations over the last year.
Third, Xi Miao presided over the constitutional amendments and special resolutions. Over a decade has passed since the last revision in 2014. In light of new developments, needs, and informational changes, it has become crucial to update the council’s constitution to keep pace with the times. During this process, the attending members meticulously reviewed and discussed every word and sentence of the proposed amendments, hoping that this revision would better align the constitution with the current practical needs of the association’s development and operations.
To accomplish these three tasks, the council had begun preparations six months in advance, engaging in numerous discussions, revisions, and refinements to ensure a rigorous and comprehensive process.
The entire meeting was chaired by Vice President Daniel Hou. After Vice President Hou solemnly declared the meeting open, all attendees stood for the playing of the national anthems of Canada and the People’s Republic of China. The grand overture to the general meeting commenced with the solemn melodies of the two anthems.
However, the weather was not on our side. Just yesterday, June 20th, Calgary experienced a rare and violent storm that raged from day to night without cease. This morning, the wind and rain continued to batter the city, with gusts so strong that some friends had their umbrellas blown inside out. Some members were soaked to the bone by the downpour. A suggestion was made to postpone the meeting, but everyone understood the difficulty of rescheduling, as it would be hard for many members to coordinate their time to attend again. Therefore, the decision was made to proceed with the meeting, rain or shine.
Movingly, despite such adverse weather, members traveled from all corners of the city, braving the storm to attend and demonstrating a strong sense of responsibility and belonging. Of the 73 members who had registered to attend, 56 were present. This attendance was especially commendable and admirable given that the majority were seniors.
The meeting ultimately proceeded smoothly. After enthusiastic discussions, the two agenda items and the special resolution for the constitutional amendments were all passed by a show of hands. Following the meeting, we enjoyed a screening of the movie “Detective Chinatown 1900,” bringing the general meeting to a warm and fulfilling conclusion.
We thank every member who attended and showed their support. It is because of you that we have such a united and progressive community.

2025年度会员大会
半年前，我们就开始筹备今天这一场意义重大的大会——2025年6月21日（星期六）下午一点，2025年度会员大会，终于如期在会所举行。
本次大会肩负着三项重要任务：
一，由陈炳生会长作，本届理事会的年终工作总结，回顾过去一年走过的脚步，面对的挑战，以及取得的成果；
二，由王卫国财务总监向大会作财务报告，向会员们清晰、透明地汇报过去一年的财务运作情况；
三，由缪熙主持章程修改与特别决议。自2014年上一次修订以来，已有十余年。在新形势、新需求与信息变化的背景下，理事会章程的与时俱进显得尤为重要。这次章程的修改，在到场会员们对要修改的章程都逐字逐句认真审核与探讨，都希望通过此次修订，使章程更加贴合现阶段社团发展和运作的实际需求。
为完成这三项任务，理事会早在半年前便陆续展开准备，期间多次讨论、修订与反复打磨，力求严谨周全。
本次大会由侯涛副会长全程主持。在侯副会长郑重宣布大会开幕之后，全体与会会员肃立，先后奏唱加拿大国歌与中华人民共和国国歌。在两国国歌庄严的旋律中，隆重拉开了本次会员大会的序幕。
然而，天公不作美。就在昨日（6月20日），卡尔加里经历了罕见的狂风暴雨，从白天到深夜未曾停歇。今日清晨，风雨依旧肆虐，狂风大作，有的朋友连雨伞都被吹翻。有的会员人也被风雨淋成了“落汤鸡”。有会员提出是否延期举行，然而大家深知，若临时改期，许多会员难以再度协调时间参与，实属不易。因此，决定风雨无阻，照常举行大会。
令人感动的是，在如此恶劣的天气中，会员们仍从四面八方冒雨而来，展现了强烈的责任感与归属感。原本登记出席的有73位会员，实际到场56位，大部分都是长者，在这种情况下实属难得，令人敬佩。
大会最终顺利举行，两项议程和章程修改特别决议，也在热烈讨论后全数举手通过。会后，我们还一同欣赏了电影《唐探1900》，为本次会员大会画下温馨、充实的句号。
感谢每一位到场支持的会员，正是因为有你们，才有这个团结奋进的集体。
