Chinese Ambassador Society

In an effort to build stronger community ties, and expand relationships with prospective contributors, Burnaby Hospital Foundation launched the Chinese Ambassador Society in April 2018.

The Chinese Ambassador Society, with a membership comprised of local business and community leaders, has been mandated to work collaboratively with the Chinese community in promoting local events, and inspiring better engagement with Burnaby Hospital Foundation and hospital staff to ensure health care needs are being met for everyone in Burnaby Hospital’s catchment areas.

Since 2018, the Society has helped raise over $250,000 for Burnaby Hospital Foundation.
