Virtual Events Program Details
These events are open to all HKVCA members as well as anyone else who may be interested. We have picked topics and speakers which we think will be of interest to everyone, and perhaps showcasing aspects of the Battle of Hong Kong that you may not be familiar with. The speakers will be engaging and knowledgeable, and there will be the opportunity for you to ask questions of the presenters.
The presentations will be offered via Zoom, a very easy-to-use online system that can be accessed from any smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. The presentation will be recorded and will be available on YouTube in a few days after the event takes place.
Here is our current lineup of events for the first half of the year:

Our Mission:
To educate all Canadians on the role of Canada's soldiers in the Battle of Hong Kong and on the effects of the internment of the battle’s survivors on both the soldiers and their families. We also assist in the support and welfare of Hong Kong veterans and their widows.
