The journey of our organization began in 2015, marked by a commitment to support and uplift Asian seniors, their families and care-givers.  Our unwavering dedication to our community endured, even as the challenges of COVID-19 unfolded.

Regrettably, we were confronted with the distressing sight of a racially-motivated assault on two cherished Chinese seniors in Burnaby, witnessed by some of our members.

This incident inspired us to reinforce our healing mission. 

Our participation in the annual BC Dumpling Festival has filled us with pride, and alongside our young leaders, we have responded to racial injustices with resilience, technology, and culinary arts. This has cemented our resolve to better serve the youth and seniors across British Columbia, culminating in the creation of the pioneering Bots and Buns Festival, www.botsandbuns.com.

This event stands as a celebration of intercultural concord, blending the spirit of youth and the wisdom of elders through delectable treats infused with sprinkles of technology.

We gratefully thank the awards and recognition given to our work by:
