Name Change Announcement (改名通告）

Dear member of CHANO,
We are here to inform you that the Chinese Heritage Association of Northern Ontario (CHANO), will officially change its name to “Chinese Association of Greater Sudbury”.

CHANO has been established for over 20 years, is one of the Chinese organizations, and in recent years, the number of Chinese residents in the Sudbury area has significantly increased.
More Chinese individuals from various parts of the world have joined our local community and expressed their interest in participating in our Chinese cultural activities. After extensive discussions within the CHANO board and consultations with various stakeholders, it has been unanimously decided that in order to better unite all local Chinese residents and other Chinese organizations in Greater Sudbury, expand the scope of our Chinese cultural activities, increase Chinese community engagement, and further enhance our commitment to preserving and promoting Chinese culture while reflecting our association’s roots in and service to the Sudbury region, CHANO will undergo a name change to Chinese Association of Greater Sudbury(CAGS).

This decision is a testament to our commitment to the Chinese community. Following our principle of serving the Chinese community, our association will continue to provide a wide range of cultural and sports activities, create broader social opportunities, and offer stronger community resources and support to all our members. Together, we will strengthen the bonds among Sudbury’s Chinese community.
We are making this announcement to ensure that all our members and the community at large are aware of this name change.

We appreciate your ongoing support and trust in our association. We look forward to a brighter future under our new name, where we will continue to preserve and promote Chinese culture and serve the Chinese community.

Chinese Association of Greater Sudbury
