Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the early Chinese residents in Red Deer, mostly Toi-Shan dialect speakers who had originated from the southern Kwangtung (now Quangdong) Province of China, got together to form the first Chinese Community Association. The Association’s main activities were based on a strong “benevolence” mandate of providing assistance and support to fellow Chinese in Red Deer. The local Chinese had also participated in the City’s social and cultural activities. With the number of Chinese population grew over the years, plus influx of new immigrants from Hong Kong and south-east Asia, the Chinese elders saw an increasing need of formerly organizing a Chinese community society to properly plan and manage the Association’s financial resources and activities.
