Spring Celebration Luncheon 2022 on FairChild TV Evening News (NEW)
March 4, 2022
Gaia Cares hosted the Spring Celebration Luncheon on March 4, 2022 at Floata Seafood Restaurant in Chinatown. Over the past two years many vulnerable seniors suffered from isolation during the pandemic. To encourage them to re-connect with the community, Gaia Cares invited over 150 low-income seniors from the Chinatown neighborhood to a free luncheon with traditional Chinese performances including the Lions dance, Cantonese Opera and Lucky Draw. We even had a “God of Fortune” dressed in full custom to hang out “Red Pocket” money to each senior.
In addition, many prominent government officials including Mayor Kennedy Stewart; MP Jenny Kwan; MLA Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport; MLA Mable Elmore, Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors Services and Long Term Care and Councilor Pete Fry were also in attendance to show their support to our event. Here is a video report broadcasted on Fairchild TV news that evening.
