History: Establishing our Roots in Hong Kong |

its charitable legacy in April 1996 with the inaugural
Foundation Scholarship. Founded by a dedicated group
of University of Toronto friends and alumni in October
1995, the Foundation is a registered charity with
the Hong Kong government and the Inland Revenue
Department. The Honorable Dame Dr. Rosanna Wong

board. Our current Chair Mrs. Daisy C.F. Ho is the
Managing Director and Chief Finance Officer of Shun
Tak Group Holdings. |
