Hi everybody

You can catch me in action on CBC Newsworld television

It's the story of how my great-great-grandfather Rev. Chan Yu Tan and
his wife came to Canada in 1896, and how they, their children and
grandchildren overcame racism and challenges, to integrate and help
create the fabric of our Canadian mosaic.

It's an incredible Canadian story, told through the voice of a family that has lived through 7 generations of Canadian history.
it's about the past, the present and the future.
