OCCSC 40th Anniversary Fundraising Gala

Minister of Citizenship, Immigra-tion and International Trade; and our local MPP Yasir Naqvi. Past Ottawa-Centre MP Paul Dewar was recognized for his work supporting immigrant settlement agencies in Ottawa and was invited to speak. He praised the important role OCCSC played during the settlement of Vi-etnamese refugees during the Pro-ject 4000 period. He lauded the OC-CSC for its excellent work helping to settle immigrants in Ottawa. Otta-wa mayor Jim Watson and city Councilor Catherine McKenney awarded the OCCSC with a signed plaque commemorating the OC-CSC’s 40th Anniversary and achievements.

Mayor Jim Watson who re-cently came back from his visit to Beijing spoke to the audience: “I was born in French Quebec, I am now the mayor of Ottawa, and to-night, I am celebrating the Chinese Community Service Centre’s 40th Anniversary in a Italian restaurant. This is multiculturalism, and this is Canada!” Talking about the trip he made a few years ago with our Ex-ecutive Director Sharon Kan, he smiled: “Sharon seemed to know more people than the mayor of Bei-jing. She was busy making deals.” CBC-TV’s Supper Hour News Anchor and “Our Ottawa”

host Adrian Harewood and OCCSC staff member, Shaw Quan, hosted the event. Adrian mentioned that he was pleased to attend in place of his co-host Lucy van Oldenbarneveld, who graciously hosted during the last two Galas and who was unavail-able this year due to illness. “I re-member every time before Lucy left for OCCSC’s Gala, she was very excited about it and always enjoyed the great community spirit.”

The 40th Anniversary Video was shown to the audience at the Gala. The video was put together by Wilson Huyn, who is the son of one of the Vietnamese refugees we helped back in 1979. The OCCSC honoured and gave gifts of apprecia-tion to past presidents Bill Joe, Shek-Ho Ching, Irene Zhou, and Jonas Ma for their dedicated contributions. Two veteran staff members were also honoured, Client Services Man-ager, Rupert Yeung, and senior set-tlement worker May Chan, received gifts of appreciation for their hard work over the past 35 years. New Life Member, Xianchun Liang re-ceived a thank you gift for her gen-erous donation and participation. The City of Ottawa, The Em-bassy of the People's Republic of China in Canada, the Taipei Eco-nomic and Cultural Office in Cana-

da, The Royal Thai Embassy, Jamaican High Commission in Can-ada, the National Gallery and the local sponsoring businesses provid-ed items for our Silent Auction and purchased sponsor tables. After the dinner vouchers sold out, there were also partners hoping to sponsor; un-fortunately, the limited venue could not accommodate more seats. A to-tal of 424 guests bought the dinner voucher, and more than 100 people, including performers, volunteers and staff members actively perform, taking photos, supervising the stage, or selling the lucky draws in the crowd. OCCSC staff also dressed in various ethnic costumes and enter-tained guests. The Gala was a large-scale, vibrant event.

Wonderful performances were given by the Cadenza Quartet from Ottawa Youth Orchestra, Ori-ental Dance Troupe who gave a beautifully choreographed presenta-tion; famed opera singer, Ms. Liu Minghui and new generation singer Sheng Qin and Eva Li presented beautiful songs, exotic and colorful Thailand Dance choreographed by their founding member Kai Whitcomb; Gypsy Jazz Guitarist Christian Flores from Santiago, Chile; and wonderful Bulgarian dance troupe “HopTrop “.

In 1975, Mr. Bill Joe and several Chinese partners started the OCCSC in a cramped office on Gil-mour Street designed to help the Chinese immigrants in need of help. Forty years later the OCCSC has grown from a small office charity to a professional and com-prehensive social service agency receiving funding from three levels of government. The origins of its staff and clients cover 105 coun-tries. Dozens of employees and vol-unteers provide various services to more than 3,000 new immigrants each year, to help with their settle-ment, education, employment, and social integration in Ottawa. Only in the past five years, OCCSC provided service for nearly 15,000 new immigrants. 1,136 community volunteers contributed 31,000 hours of volunteer services to help new immigrants settle in Ottawa, and to help Ottawa become a more diversified, multicultural, and inclusive city. After paying the costs of the dinner events, all the money raised will be put into our community ser-vices. Executive Director Sharon

Kan said: "We will continue to grow, to expand the scope of ser-vices, improve service quality, while not being entirely dependent on government funding. A lot of similar community-based organiza-tions are doing such things, and run their own nursing home care, chil-dren centers, and counselling ser-vices. We are also exploring ways for such operations; as well as seeking donations and charging small service fees to clients (of non-funded programs) who can afford it, as well as putting resources into other service projects. All of this needs careful planning, the support and cooperation of many." This year's event is bigger than previous years, thanks to our sponsors:

Chinese Family Services The Teenage Years: Making It Easier for Parents and Young People

'Sometimes I look at my daughter and cannot believe we are such good friends now,' said Lien. We had so many bad fights when she was a teenager that I thought we would end up hating each other.' Lien's experience is not unique. For some families the teenage years can be difficult and filled with conflict. To some extent this is normal; after all it is a time when teenagers are coping with emotional and physical changes that can often make them moody and rebellious. But for Lien these years were par-ticularly difficult because, like many parents coming to Canada from over-seas, she wanted to bring her children up according to the traditions of her home country. But this way was often very different to the Canadian way. At home families were stricter, but in Canada children had more freedom. Knowing that other girls in her class could go out on weekends or stay overnight at each other's houses, Lien's daughter wanted to do the same. 'She would argue with me every time I told her she could not go out,' Lien remembers. What made this worse was that my own parents were living with us and I could feel their disapprov-al. They disapproved of my daughter because she argued with me, and they disapproved of me because they thought I could not control her.' It is a familiar story and it is not surprising that parents who are often working long hours to give their chil-dren a better life feel their children are disrespectful. But parents and young people both have something in common; both are struggling to come to terms with living with the values of two differ-ent cultures. At home teenagers may be expected to obey rules without question, yet outside the home they are growing

up in a society where it is not necessari-ly considered disrespectful for young people to have strong opinions and think for themselves. Teenagers may want to please their parents, yet they also want to feel accepted by their Canadian friends. Although it is normal for young people to be moody and difficult some-times, this does not mean parents should tolerate unacceptable behaviour, but it helps if they can show patience and un-derstanding. Teenagers may not have the same responsibilities as their par-ents, but they may still have things to worry about. They may feel under pres-sure to succeed at school, and under pressure to fit in with other young peo-ple. They may also be worried about issues like unemployment and the envi-ronment which make them feel uncer-tain about their future. They often feel unfairly criticized by adults too. When we read or hear news about young peo-ple in the media, it is likely to be about the bad things they do, rather than the good things. Yet the reality is that most young people are not troublemakers. What can parents do to avoid problems with teenagers? It is some-times tempting to be very strict, but harsh discipline can make teenage be-haviour worse. On the other hand, teen-agers who have a good relationship with at least one parent have less risk of get-ting into serious trouble. Good ways for parents to improve their relationship with their children include:

Showing you care about them (even when they are being horrible) Taking an interest in them and the

things they do Spending regular and relaxed time with them (even if you are busy) and finding things to do together you can both enjoy

Letting them know you notice the good things that they do *Article Source: Canadian Mental Health Association - Edmonton Region

Volunteer Story – Rudi C. Mangulabnan

As the Human Resources Manager of a growing company, I typically do at least one orientation session per month with a group of new hires. To start each ori-entation, we go around the room making introductions. Because I know that they will be doing numerous intro-ductions over the course of their on-boarding, I never ask them the question, “Tell us about yourself?” I don’t even like that question at interview stage. Instead, I usu-ally ask them a different type of question, such as, “What did/do you want to be when you grow up?” or “If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, fic-tional or real, who would it be with?’ I find it’s a more effective and casual way of getting first introductions. I used to ask these types of questions at interview stage, but I didn’t see the real value in them. One question I do ask at interview stage is, “Can you tell us about a time when you did something for someone else, even though you had nothing to gain from it yourself?” This question is designed to give some insight into how selfless and team oriented someone is. I’ve often asked myself the same question and how I would answer it if the question was posed to me. The one answer that immediately comes to mind is the time I give to the Mentorship Program I’m involved with at In-TAC/OCCSC. It requires a significant amount of volunteer hours. First, there’s the mentorship training program of 15 hours over the course of 5 weeks, followed by 30 hours over the next 4 months with the mentee that you are paired up with. I could say that it’s the most selfless thing that I

do because I put in a lot of my personal time towards this. It takes a significant amount of effort and invest-ment to help a newcomer to Canada to find work in their chosen field. Whether it’s helping them with their re-sume, preparing them for an interview, connecting them with the right people, job search strategy, opening them up to different networking opportunities or even just to be a sounding board so they can talk about some of their challenges and frustrations about landing a job. The truth however, is that the time and effort I volunteer to the In-TAC Mentorship Program is not selfless at all. The truth is that I get so much out of it. I’m the one that has become a better person from being a Mentor. It’s such an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I sometimes feel like the benefit that my Mentee receives is simply a by-product; that I’m the one actually receiving all the benefits of the Mentorship Program. So, if someone were to ask me the question, “Can you tell us about a time when you did something for someone else, even though you had nothing to gain from it yourself?” as much as I’d like to say it’s the volunteer time and effort that I contribute to the In-TAC Mentor-ship Program, if I were to be completely honest, I could-n’t use that as my answer. The truth is that I’m the one that gains the satis-faction of working and collaborating with an amazing group of Mentors and Mentees; I’m the one that feels rewarded after I’ve helped my Mentee to prepare for their job interview and successfully land a job in their field. I’m the one that has gained from learning more about my Mentees - understanding their challenges, re-specting how strong they are to have moved to a new country, getting to know more about the country where they came from, their backgrounds and why they chose to come Canada. I am the one that gains from the In-TAC Mentorship Program because I am the one who gets inspired by each Mentee. My hope is to continue my relationship with In-

TAC for the foreseeable future so that I can continue to

be inspired by everyone in the Program – other Mentors,

the Mentees, the Facilitators, Coordinators and everyone

else who is involved in this inspiring Program!
