Canada Children’s Broadcasting Arts Group, proudly sponsored by New Canadian Home, held a grand New Year Concert on the afternoon of January 5. The event featured spectacular performances that made a powerful impression and was a tremendous success.
Distinguished guests from all three levels of government attended the event, including Member of Parliament Majid Jowhari, Judy Yang (assistant to MP Shaun Chen), Ontario MPP Vincent Ke, Markham City Councillor Amanda Yeung Collucci, Toronto City Councillor Nick's assistant Zhu Xunhong, New Canadian Home representative Angie Gao, Principal Joe Lu of Excellence High School, President Yang Haifeng of the Canadian New Chinese Association, and CEO of WIT Education, Lotus Zhang.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also sent a congratulatory letter, and Consul General Luo Weidong from the Chinese Consulate in Toronto delivered a message of congratulations. He praised the Canada Children’s Broadcasting Arts Group for actively organizing and participating in cultural performances and charitable activities since its founding, providing a platform for Chinese-Canadian youth to learn, exchange, and showcase their talents. He expressed his hope that in the new year, the group would continue to thrive as promoters of traditional Chinese culture, contributors to a multicultural society, and young ambassadors for China-Canada friendship.
Congratulatory letters were also sent by the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of International Trade; Member of Parliament Paul Chiang; Markham Regional Councillor Alan Ho; Richmond Hill Mayor David West; Richmond Hill Deputy Mayor Godwin Chan; Richmond Hill City Councillor Simon Cui; and Toronto City Councillor Shelley Carroll.
In her speech, CCBAG’s independent founder and director, Tongfei Kuang, shared that over the past five years, the arts group has consistently visited nursing homes to bring warmth and care to the elderly. Additionally, the group organizes large-scale charity performances every year to raise funds for charitable organizations and children with autism. Kuang also volunteers to teach singing to children with special needs.
In 2023, CCBAG established a children's choir. In 2024, it launched a children’s pop band, a youth pop band, and a band that blends traditional Chinese instruments with pop music. By the end of that year, the CCBAG Charity Foundation was officially founded. In early 2025, the CCBAG Seniors Association was established, and on January 11, it held its inaugural New Year celebration themed “Honoring Seniors, Promoting Chinese Virtues.”
Co-director and co-founder of the CCBAG Charity Foundation, Joy Shen, stated in her speech that the foundation will strictly adhere to its rules and regulations, actively assist seniors, children, and low-income families, provide services that promote well-being, and offer platforms to enrich their cultural lives.
