Anti-Asian Racism: A Call to Action

The linked file below is an anti-Asian racism statement that was recently sent out by Fiona Dalton (CEO of PHC) and Victor Leung (President of Medical Staff Association). In the statement, there are some useful links about educating others about racism, as well as links to donate to organizations to fight anti-Asian racism. It may be a useful statement to post on the website as well.

Fighting All Forms of Racism!

A well written Op-Ed article worth reading:

"Promoting multiculturalism as Canada’s national identity has allowed Canadians to ignore the harsh lived reality of many minorities, and to refute the claim that racism is alive and well in Canada. Denying its existence allows racism to fester and persist."

President's Message

Dear Colleagues,

The COVID-19 pandemic was hard for everyone in 2020. We still remembered how our

members were actively donating their savings and PPEs to the medical frontline of Wuhan China

fighting against Coronavirus in the beginning of 2020; then we had our first wave of COVID-19

pandemic crisis across Canada starting in March 2020. We faced lockdowns and a vast majority

of our group activities were canceled, including our traditional Gala dinner and Chinese New

Year celebration events. Some of us may have experienced difficulties in our clinic practices. We

are still struggling with the second wave of hardship and the uncertainty of virus variants. The

COVID-19 pandemic is the most serious public health crisis we have ever experienced.

With such an unprecedented change in the way we live and work, we were pushed to be more

resilient and creative. We had a successful online Health Fair in 2020. We saw the booming of

Tele-CMEs. We entered a new age of social interaction and professional practice including Tele-

Medicine. We also saw the beginning of the end of this historical unprecedented pandemic

crisis.

This year, we will continue to maintain and strengthen our members' connections. We will

continue to support CMEs and health education events. We are also planning to create a platform

for all of our members to share, exchange practice-related information, so we can connect and

help each other more closely. I believe the challenges and the opportunities always co-exist. At

this special beginning of the Chinese New Year 2021, may the lucky Ox bring everyone the luck,

prosperity, health and peace!

Sincerely,

Charles Jiang

President of CCMSBC
