Shon Yee Benevolent Association of Canada

Shon Yee Benevolent Association of Canada The Shon Yee Benevolent Association was formed in 1914 for the purpose of helping each other who came from Zhongshan in a foreign country. This is who we are!

Shon Yee has evolved from a handful to over 700 members today with three branches, Calgary, Victoria, and Vancouver. The aims of the club have not changed over the past 93 years. They have merely expanded from a brotherhood to a benevolent organization that reaches many people near and far by providing funds and services through the local hospitals and through larger charitable organizations such

as the Red Cross, United Way and World Vision. Shon Yee is also involved in a joint venture with the provincial government in providing low income housing for a great number of our seniors in the community. As time passed, an athletic division and a seniors’ division were formed, which gave even greater impetus to Shon Yee’s growing abundance of events. We believe that these events, reflecting the enthusiasm and dedication of its members, are vital to the club's longevity. They are:

Kung Fu, Lion and Dragon Dance, Drumming, Line Dancing, Ballroom Dancing, Tai Chi, Table Tennis, , Bowling, Hiking, Chess, Calligraphy, Karaoke, Instrument Playing, Opera Singing, Movie Nights, Sewing, Cooking, Beauty and Health Demonstrations, Mandarin Classes, English Classes, excursions, and travelling. To summarize, Shon Yee Benevolent Association provides the framework in which there is a challenge for everyone in carrying out their charitable work- whether it is in the form of working to give the club direction, or, in the form of recreation for one’s personal well-being.
