Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
How
do
you
honor
your
ancestors
starting
today
and
in
the
coming
days,
chinese
communities
in
british
columbia
will
come
together
for
the
ching
ming
festival?
According
to
the
lunar
calendar,
chiang
ming
takes
place
on
the
15th
day
after
the
spring
equinox,
which
puts
the
festival
in
early
april
every
year.
B
During
this
time,
chinese
families
in
bc
will
gather
to
pay
respect
to
their
ancestors
in
english.
Ching
ming
is
known
as
tom
sweeping
day
over
the
past
two
years.
The
kobe
19
pandemic
has
posed
challenges
for
qingming
gatherings,
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
year's
ceremonies
when
families
can
finally
gather
together
in
person
to
reconnect
with
their
loved
ones.
I
myself
commemorate
my
late
father,
my
late
sister
and
my
late
husband
in
chiang
mai.
