On Saturday, November 26th, 2022, the Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) Foundation hosted its inaugural the Fortune Ball Gala at the Hilton Hotel in Markham. Six hundred guests attended a sumptuous dinner and dance event that celebrated modern Chinese culture with elegant charm and spectacular entertainment.
The MSH Foundation aims to promote community pride within the local Chinese-Canadian population and inspire Chinese business and philanthropic leaders to help bring abundant blessings to MSH through their generous contributions, and $550,000 had been raised at the date of the Gala!
We, Fête Chinoise, also donated copies of our magazine at the event. We hope that our contributions brightened the guests' time there.
The evening featured emcee Jennifer Hsiung of CP24 Breakfast, as well as special guests including North America’s premiere tribute band Bee Gees Now, who headlined the entertainment part of the event. The Sun Ling Dance and Wushu Project were also showcased in the event, which displayed the elegant beauty of their Traditional Chinese dances as well as the spectacular lion dance.

For generations, the Cantonese people of Hong Kong have upheld a unique tradition – the wearing of the exquisite Kwan Kwa, a traditional bridal ensemble consisting of a jacket and long skirt, for weddings. While not exclusive to the region, this elegant attire has been meticulously preserved and distinctly developed in Hong Kong, rendering it a cultural icon that embodies the city's rich heritage.
