To usher in the auspicious Year of the Dragon, the Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham, sponsored by TD Canada Trust, hosted three Lunar New Year celebrations: at its Cultural Centre, Markham Civic Centre, and Vaughan. These events honored the historical and cultural heritage of Chinese traditions spanning thousands of years. The festivities included lion and dragon dances, as well as performances of traditional Chinese festive music. Dignitaries, business leaders, and community members came together to wish for good fortune, health, peace, and prosperity in the New Year.
