The CCC Calligrathon is happening! Calligraphy is an integral part of
Chinese culture, and CCC aims to create this unique opportunity to
encourage the art of writing and calligraphy. Now, by participating in
the Calligrathon, you can practice calligraphy and at the same time
help raise funds for CCC. Both English and Chinese calligraphy are
acceptable, and people of all ages are welcome. Details and the pledge
forms can be found at
http://www.cccgt.org/2004/F_Calligrathon.html

In addition to the Calligrathon, CCC is proud to present the exhibition
"Chinese Script: from ORACLE BONES to COMPUTER BYTES" which is now
showing on the second floor of the Robarts Library of the University of
Toronto; this exhibition is presented in partnership with the Consulate
General of the People's Republic of China in Toronto, the City of
Toronto -- Parks and Recreation, Economic Development, Culture and
Tourism --, and the University of Toronto -- Libraries.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Silk Road To Prosperity ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

對中加進出口貿易商而設的「成功絲綢路」研討會於十月三日星期日假大多倫多
中華文化中心舉行。該研討會由加拿大中國專業人士協會、大多倫多中華文化中
心、創業協進會合辦。該研討會旨在幫助有興趣從事中加進出口貿易的中小型企
業家如何開創事業。

研討會內容共有十多個主題﹕加拿大進口條例及關稅事項、如何研究加拿大進口
市場、加國華裔企業家成功故事、尋找有競爭力中國出口商品的成功之道、控制
出口風險須知、加拿大貨品出口中國之商機、成功國際貿易、世貿為你打開加拿
大的進出口大門、進出口貿易貸款及加拿大進口條例及關稅事項等。

今次研討會主辦機構之一的大多倫多中華文化中心主席張明達醫生表示：「絲綢
之路」除了是指旅遊景點外，亦是中西貿易的開始。所以大會以「成功絲綢路」
命名最為貼切。研討會將會每年舉辦一次，以促進中加貿易。

研討會另一主辦機構之創業協進會代表黎宏俊指出，每年中國進出口貿易達到八
千五百億美元，而加拿大每年的國民生產總值為一萬億加元，由此兩個數字可見
當中商機無限。

當日出席研討會多達三百餘人。參加者都覺得研討會提供的信息具體實用，希望
日後多舉辦類似活動。


::::::::::::::::::::: Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Festival ::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Mid Autumn Festival is one of the biggest Chinese festivals. It not
only celebrates the good harvests in autumn, but also symbolizes the
gathering or union of a family. As in previous years, the Chinese
Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto organized the annual "Mid Autumn
Harvest Moon Festival Celebration" on Saturday September 25. Families,
kids, and friends came to the CCC and enjoyed the whole afternoon of
live Chinese music played by Toronto Chinese Orchestra, a Chinese folk
dance, Cantonese Opera by Starlight Cantonese Opera, a piano
performance, a moon cake-making demonstration, and more. Lantern
decoration is another must-have tradition practice in this festival,
and so CCC gave out free lanterns to all the children. The event was
very well received and everyone enjoyed the celebration.


:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Hong Kong Film Festival ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

After a week of 8 exciting screenings, the Hong Kong Film Festival has
come to an end. It is amazing how much Hong Kong produced films have
matured. Some of the cinematography are world-class and the actors and
actresses were really absorbed in who they were portraying. Thanks to
Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Toronto for partnering with us
in organizing this event and providing us with the opportunity to raise
some funds for the Phase 2 development.
