Temple Donation
Carol Charlebois, President, and Lisa Bengston of the Victoria Canada -China Friendship Association (VCCFA) recently visited the Tam Kung Temple to present a $10,000 cheque in support of the Yen Wo Society’s ongoing renovation projects.
VCCFA fosters friendship and understanding between the peoples of Canada and China. Further to a legacy from the estate of a past member, Paula Achemitchuk, the VCCFA did its research to identify projects of historical significance and growth within Victoria’s Chinatown. They chose the Tam Kung Temple and combined Association and Legacy funds to comprise their donation.
Nora Butz, Yen Wo Society President, expressed deep appreciation on behalf of the Tam Kung Temple and community.
