If you know a good restaurant from your culture, or any restaurant you really like, in Toronto or near vicinities, please kindly share with us!
East and West Learning Connections initiated the Foodies Group in 2024 for its registered members, volunteers, and guest speakers. Group members, coming from different cultural backgrounds, are encouraged to take turns to lead an outing to a restaurant of their choice, and if possible, to think of ways to enhance the experience for the group culturally. For example, they may share knowledge or stories related to the food/culture, or try to arrange for a cooking demo, etc.

How to be an Effective Communicator for Presentations
October 24, 2024
There is an old saying in Chinese, “To stand like you are a pine tree (Zhan Ru Song),” symbolizing steadiness. Today, Coach Ric introduced us to a new tree to mimic during presentations: the palm tree. It represents both steadiness and natural flexibility. The session was packed with theoretical and practical advice, including RSVP (Rhythm, Speed, Volume, Pace) for voice and PPP (Pleasure/Pain Principle). My personal favourite, though, is his honesty about how he, a native speaker and communication coach, still practices his speeches and looks for improvement constantly. Check out this month’s material here.
This month, we are very much delighted to welcome two renowned Canadian poets and writers, Alice Major and DC Reid, who both have broad interest in literature, science, and social issues. They’ll talk about how they came to make their living as writers, and share how their interest in science informs their work. They’ll also talk about having some of their poetry translated into Chinese, and together with their translator, Mississauga’s first poet laureate Anna Yin, read a little of their work.
At our monthly East & West Dialogue, guest speakers from different cultural backgrounds volunteer their time and expertise to share life experiences, thoughts, concerns, , and have a dialogue with our audience.

This month, we are very much honoured to be joined by two humble, but highly achieving Canadians who have big hearts for the world. Come to see how they have developed their overseas charitable work from Canada over many years, in a secular and apolitical way, and discuss how such acts of kindness, whether big or small, can easily be achieved!
