Thank you to Premier @Dave_Eby and the @BCLegislature for honouring my father today with a wonderful tribute. My dad was proud to be Musqueam, proud to be Chinese and so very proud to be Canadian. He will be missed but his legacy lives on.

Yes the 2010 Olympic Games were an important moment for Canada @AaronGunn I loved seeing Indigenous culture on display & leaders of local First Nations recognized as heads of state. I was also proud seeing my father participate on behalf of Musqueam during the opening ceremony.
