The 13th Anniversary Celebration of the Care Bank
was grandly held in Markham
On September 3, 2023, Care Bank celebrated its 13th anniversary in Markham. This warm and loving celebration was held in the Chinese community branch of the Care Bank. The scene of the event was brightly lit and filled with a warm atmosphere. The heart-shaped design on the main wall brought attention to the words "Happy 13th anniversary Care Bank" and added colour to this special birthday. The celebration event was also an annual awards ceremony, which attracted the participation of guests and many volunteers including Mr. Peng from Toronto Online, Mr. Sun from Chinese Headlines, Mr. Jin from CC.News, Mr. Sun from Ruixiang Vision, and Mr. Wu from Huafengyun Art Troupe.
The predecessor of the Care Bank was the Canadian Care Alliance founded by Heather He on September 2, 2010, and was later renamed the Care Bank. Heather He served as the host of this event today. She shared the 13-year history of the Care Bank. In her speech, she sincerely thanked all the volunteers for their dedication to the community, especially those who provided warm help to single-parent families, the elderly and international students. At the same time, she mentioned that many depositors of the Care Bank have won the Platinum Jubilee Badge for the 70th Anniversary of the Queen's Ascension to the Throne, the Ontario Volunteer Award and the Volunteer Award for various community activities, which fully proves their dedication and contribution.
This year's celebration has received strong support from many outstanding companies, industry elites in various fields, and news media. A number of MPs also sent congratulatory messages to congratulate Care Bank on its 13th anniversary.
Heather He said: "The concept of the Care Bank is to gather caring people and serve the community, so that people who give to the community can record their good deeds through Care Points. These care points can be used, accumulated and passed on. Through many ways, our community will become more harmonious and better. As Heather, the chairwoman of the Care Bank, said, the richest people in the future will not look at the number of bank accounts someone has, but how much love they have, because there is warmth in love. Today’s dedication will be passed down from generation to generation in the future and bring rewards.”
At the ceremony, Chairwoman He especially thanked the Chinese directors Sasha Xiao, Laura Wu, Baojun Du, Bailing Zhou, Cindy Zhang, Dee Zhang, Ella Zhang, Jeff Shen, Xiang Rong, Xiao Bin Li and other directors for their dedication to the operation of the Care Bank. Afterwards, they jointly presented the Outstanding Volunteer Award and shared a birthday cake. In addition, there were wonderful sign language dance performances at the ceremony, including "Grateful Heart", "Holding Hands" and "Heal the World". These performances convey the cherishing of life and gratitude for love, emphasizing the theme that cherishing can only be possessed, and gratitude can last forever".
Mark, the Italian community branch leader of the Care Bank, especially emphasized in his congratulatory message that he would like to thank Heather He for founding the Care Bank, which is very important to the community and the whole world. He emphasized, "Caring Changes the World! Caring makes the world one family!”. He congratulated the Care Bank on its 13 years, emphasizing that the recordable, usable, accumulable, and inheritable care points will become an important care asset, which is worthy of everyone's possession and pride. Finally, I wish the Care Bank will be better and better, bring more love and warmth to the community, and witness more beautiful futures!

According to statistics, the elderly account for 16.5% in Toronto, which is a very large amount.
