카지노 게임 컬렉션œMy upbringing reminds me I need to help when I can카지노 게임 컬렉션

Dr. Josephine Tsang, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션™06, knows firsthand the importance of a supportive community.

When she was 13 years old, she left Hong Kong to live with a host family in Alberta. The move to Canada was considered a good opportunity for Tsang to get a better education but her parents were unable to relocate with her.

Moving to another country without family was not an easy transition for a teenager whose first language was not English. Tsang has always been grateful to the people in the small town of Provost who came together to help her adjust to life in Canada. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션œIt카지노 게임 컬렉션™s very memorable 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ that feeling of being part of a community, receiving help, and knowing that you can count on somebody,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Tsang, a chemist who now lives in Calgary. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œFast forward years later, my upbringing reminds me I need to help when I can. I카지노 게임 컬렉션™ll borrow Michelle Obama카지노 게임 컬렉션™s quote that I live by. I카지노 게임 컬렉션™m paraphrasing but it is when you have worked hard, done well, and walked through the doorway of opportunity, you do not slam the door shut behind you. You reach back and give other folks the same chance.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Today, Tsang is paying it forward by helping others.

She is the executive director of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC), a member-based not-for-profit association that champions the advancement of chemical sciences in Canada. She is focused on help supporting the chemical sciences community excel in sharing and celebrating their discoveries, while ensuring the current and future generations of leaders are ready to foster a more resilient, inclusive future for everyone in Canada.  

Outside of work, Tsang launched ChangentYYC, a program for kids between the ages of 10 and 12 that aims to educate youth to take action on social issues such as sustainability, food, water, social well-being, equity, and civic engagement. She wanted to empower youth to think of ways to give back to the community and create future civic leaders. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션œYou don카지노 게임 컬렉션™t have to be an 18-year-old or 50-year-old adult to make a difference. Everything they do can make a difference,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Tsang.
