Asian Heritage Month was observed differently this year with the COVID19 pandemic interrupting many celebrations, including several events normally held annually by the Senate and House of Commons. I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Ms. Queenie Choo, CEO of S.U.C.C.E.S.S., one of the largest non-profit social service organizations in British Columbia. S.U.C.C.E.S.S provides services to newcomers, helping them to integrate through language, employment, and community services. Queenie and I discussed several topics including the achievements and contributions of Canadians of Asian descent, the adversity the continue to face during the COVID19 pandemic, and the hard work that she and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. are doing to change the status quo.
