My mother Amy was a dedicated social worker. She worked for youth, disabled and senior non-profit organizations for more than 20 years. She had so much passion on community service that she continued to do volunteer work after she retired. Like my mother, I have been a volunteer since I was a child and I have experience on improving the quality of our senior’s daily lives. I emphasized to my Ward 2 senior residents that, even before running for City Councillor, I have helped hundreds of seniors in Markham Ward 2. During the pandemic, I provided technical support on the computer and helped more than 500 seniors to get their Vaccine QR code. I also distributed hundreds of rapid test kits to our Ward 2 residents. I have already been actively involved in giving back and servicing our seniors even before running for City Councillor. Therefore, I look forward to be able to do even more when elected as the next Ward 2 City Councillor for Markham.
我的媽媽Amy年輕的時候也曾經是一位社會工作者，曾從事社會工作近二十多年，包括青少年，傷健，老人服務等多個非牟利志願社會服務機構，退休前在老人社區服務，並任職社區教育主任。她在退休之後更繼續在多個非牟利機構做義工。受到媽媽的影響，我從小就做義工，並對改善老人家的生活質素富有熱誠和經驗。我强調，我在競選市議員之前已經不斷為萬錦市及第二區的長者服務。在疫情期間，我為超過500名長者提供技術支援，用電腦幫助他們拿到疫苗護照。我也積極地做義工，幫助派發了數百個快速測試給第二區的居民。在參選之前，我已經積極地在回饋社區及服務長者，當我選上萬錦市第二區市議員，我將會更有能力為長者提供更美好的生活。
最後，我已經多次講過，第二區缺乏足夠的社區設施讓長者協會舉辦活動，特別實在寒冷的冬天裏面問題尤其嚴重。這是我會在當選之後，在市議會努力為長者爭取的權益。
