The CIE was invited to pay a visit to the Walter and Gladys Hill Public School at Fort McMurray to discuss ways in which support may be provided for a potential new Chinese program at this school.
Mr. Stuart Wachowicz and Dr. Wei Li visited the school and met with the principal Ms. Annalee Nutter and the assistant principal Mr. David Parsons. James Wang, the president of Chinese Community, also attended the meeting. Mr. Wachowicz gave the presentation on the CIE. Mrs. Annalee Nutter explained their interests to establish the Chinese program at her school, to help meet the needs and requests of the local community. The school appreciated the sharing of the experiences of the development of Edmonton Chinese programs and will be moving forward to consider further development of the initiative.
