Our History

The CCAKD was founded under charter by the Canadian federal government in 1979. Since its inception in October 1977, our organization has become a recognized representative of the Chinese population in the district. We have contributed in many ways to the local community: participation in the Folklore Festival, sponsorship of Vietnamese boat people refugees, donation of hospital equipment and rooms to Kingston General Hospital and Hotel Dieu hospital, supply of cultural materials to local libraries and schools, donations to disaster relief funds, and assistance of funding to local Chinese heritage schools.
