HAYER CELEBRATES YEAR OF THE DRAGON

SURREY – Tynehead MLA Dave S. Hayer sends best wishes and congratulations to all who celebrate the Lunar New Year, which this year in the Chinese calendar is the Year of the Dragon.

“This year we look forward to a year of great hope, optimism and prosperity according to the Year of the Dragon,” said Hayer. “It has been great to see this celebration embraced by people of all nationalities and I believe that this sort of optimistic look to our future bodes well for the whole province.”

“We have much to be grateful for, and this year promises much to look forward to,” added the MLA.

“We have a very strong and vibrant Asian community in British Columbia, and these celebrations are just one small part of the importance we place on our cultural diversity that makes B.C. so great,” said Hayer.

In addition to recognizing the Lunar New Year here, Hayer will be travelling to Asia in the coming weeks to celebrate the event in its homeland, as well as further encourage the great benefits of trade between British Columbia and Asian countries.

“While in Asia I will be making it very clear that not only do we look forward to stronger relationships between our countries, but also a continued strong and dynamic relationship with members of the Asian community who have contributed greatly to British Columbia’s success throughout the entire history of our province,” noted Hayer.
