                        In response to the growing concerns and risks of
                        spreading of COVID-19, The Yee Fung Toy Society
                        of Canada and Vancouver has decided to temporary
                        shut down the facility effective March 22, 2020.
                        We apologize for any inconvenience this may
                        cause and wish you well.  
                        Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, most of us are
                        staying home, we must ensure to take all the
                        necessary precautions to reduce the risk of
                        catching COVID-19, by washing our hands
                        thoroughly etc., so we are staying home by
                        either reading, watching TV, surfing the
                        internet or do whatever we like to do,

|    線上舉行今年的“虛擬”獎學金頒獎典禮
                      | YFT Vancouver Virtual Scholarship Ceremony       
                        Traditionally, YFT Society of Vancouver will
                        hold the student scholarship awarding ceremony
                        during the Spring banquet every year. Due to
                        COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the banquet was
                        postponed indefinitely and eventually cancelled.
                        So as not to withhold the scholarship fund and
                        certification to the well deserved scholarship
                        recipients, YFT Vancouver scholarship committee
                        organized their 1st ever "virtual" scholarship
                        awarding ceremony. This was done through a Skype
                        conference call on July 11, 2020 (Saturday) @
                        11:00am.  
                        This year, a total of 17 recipients were awarded
                        with merit scholarships ranging from elementary
                        level to post-secondary level. An overwhelming
                        attendance was recorded as 16 students managed
                        to attend, together with their parents and YFT
                        committee members.  
                        The ceremony went well, as we managed to cover a
                        brief introduction of YFT society and a short
                        history down the memory lane. Before getting to
                        the actual awarding ceremony (naming of
                        recipients), all students are given the chance
                        to self introduce to each other. After the
                        awarding ceremony, YFT scholarship committee
                        shared with the students and parents how they
                        can pick up their scholarship certificates and
                        awards. There was a lot of back and forth
                        communications and cheers!  
                        Above is one of the photos taken when the
                        students claimed their scholarship certificates
                        and awards at the YFT society hall on the
                        following day.  
                        Lastly, I would like to thank the YFT
                        scholarship committee members and other YFT
                        board members for their dedication and hard work
                        for preparing the award and certification at the
                        society hall. Without their help, this 1st
                        virtual scholarship award ceremony would not
                        have been possible. Great job!
