Message from the Founding President Canada China Commercial Association (CCCA) was established in 2009 for individuals and businesses who were interested in finding business opportunities between Canada and China. Five years have passed, CCCA has grown steadily and become one of the influential Chinese business associations in Calgary. This year marks a major milestone for CCCA our first five year anniversary. In the past five years, CCCA is very active in local business and Chinese Communities by hosting numerous events throughout the year, including business seminars, networking events and forums. During the 2012 Global Petroleum show, CCCA successfully organized and hosted the "Alberta Energy Energy Outlook Forum 2012" with more than 100 participants from both Canada and China. The success of the forum greatly encouraged us to bring the momentum to a higher level. In 2013, the "2013 Canada-China Trade and Investment Forum" brought together over 100 investors and professionals in the energy, academic and finance sectors as well as representatives from government agents. As the founding president, I sincerely thank our board, our members and volunteers. It is only with your dedication and support that we are able to build a solid foundation and achieve the fruitful results today. I would also like to thank our sponsors and affiliations, who have supported us in the past five years and have witnessed our growth. I am sure with our new board, bigger member base and more affiliated organizations, CCCA will continue to provide our members with vital support and opportunities to build and grow their businesses, and the future five years will mark another successful milestone for CCCA. Sincerely yours, Julie Zheng The Founding President On behalf of all of its members, the board of Canada China Commercial Association (CCCA) would like to present CCCA's history and its achievements over the past years.
