🎄The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and its members (and non-members) got into the Christmas spirit on December 12th, 2024 at our Christmas Party held at the The American Club Singapore.

To start the party, speeches were made by our President Caroline Berube who shared about the importance of volunteering and giving back to the wider community followed by a short talk from Sophia Chen of Air Canada on planning your Chinese New Year and Summer Holidays with Air Canada.

During our Christmas party, guests were treated to variety of lovely cuisine, drinks, turkey with cranberry sauce and Christmas log cake. Not only this, but in the spirit of joy and giving lucky attendees won fabulous prizes including a return economy ticket from Singapore to Vancouver from Air Canada, tickets for Phantom of the Opera from Base Entertainment Asia, a full-day limousine service from Prime Aces Limousine ( PAL ), pairs of socks from ThunderWear Asia and, last but not least, Hario Pourover gifts sets and one-for-one vouchers for coffee and donuts from Tim Hortons. A big thank you also to Export Development Canada for being a sponsor for this fun event!

Guests were also greeted when they left with their own CanCham Christmas bags!

Wishing all CanCham members, sponsors and friends a merry Christmas and a happy 2025!

At this time of the year, it is more important than ever to give back to those less fortunate.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore was joined by a number of our members, McGill University Alumni and team of the High Commission of Canada in Singapore on separate sessions on December 7th and 11th, 2024 to contribute in preparing meals and distributing food to the needy of Singapore at Willing Hearts, a charitable food kitchen located in Joo Chiat.

Thank you to our ExCo members Caroline Berube and Marlene Lee Han Han for also devoting their time and resources to this effort!

Willing Hearts started from humble beginnings in 2003 by Tony Tay and his catholic friends, selling bread to the homeless in Singapore. Since then, Willing Hearts has grown immeasurably and increased its distribution to 7,000 meals per day!

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore would like to specifically thank the following individuals for volunteering, in some cases alongside their family, on either of the 2 days: Simon-Pierre Rhéaume of the High Commission of Canada in Singapore, Matthew Fries, CFA and Karen H. of RBC Wealth Management, Nathalie Plante, CPA, CA of Michelin, Jason Doucet CPA of JASON DOUCET CONSULTING SERVICES, Robert Tang, Chew Cheng Ng of HP, Nadeem Ashraf of Mediacorp Pte Ltd and Hélène Champoux of Galen Growth.
