Location: Richmond, BC, Canada

Date and Time:

Saturday, November 9, 2025, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Vancouver Time)

6:00PM - 8:00PM (Toronto Time)

Format: In person + Online

Guest Speaker:

Yi Luo Urban Planner and Architectural Designer

About the Speaker:

With over two decades of experience in architecture and urban planning in both Canada and China, Yi Luo brings a unique perspective to the discussion. He previously served as the head of the design team at IBI Group in Vancouver before establishing and managing his own architectural firm in China for ten years, where he led numerous residential, commercial, and mixed-use urban projects.

His extensive cross-cultural work and life experiences have provided him with deep insights into social structures, value identity, and urban forms within multicultural contexts. He is passionate about upholding core societal values and civil order while respecting diversity.

Seminar Background and Summary:

Since the implementation of Canada's multiculturalism policy in the 1980s, significant challenges have emerged over time. This has been particularly pronounced under the current Liberal government's immigration policies, which have led to a large influx of immigrants and temporary residents. Navigating how to preserve core values and traditional civil order within this multicultural framework has become an undeniable and pressing issue.

This seminar will explore the historical origins of Canadian multiculturalism, its policy evolution, and the primary challenges it faces today. Through an in-depth analysis of the cultural interaction and integration among different ethnic groups, we will contemplate the future direction and cohesion of our diverse society.

Notice of Roundtable Meeting with Member of Parliament Chak Au

It has been nearly half a year since the federal election, and public safety issues in our community, such as the proliferation of drugs and the state of public order, have not only failed to be effectively controlled but are also worsening.

An Indigenous tribe's claim to Aboriginal title over an area in Richmond was supported by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in August 2025, which will pose a significant challenge to the property of the city's residents.

In the face of these issues, we invite you to join Chak Au, the Federal Member of Parliament for the Richmond Centre-Marpole constituency, to discuss solutions. We look forward to your attendance.

Meeting Time: October 18, 2025, 6:00pm - 8:00pm (Toronto Time)，3：00pm-5：00pm（Vancouver Time）

Meeting Location: Richmond Centre-Marpole Constituency

After we receive your registration email, we will send you the address. For those participating online, a meeting link will be sent to you on the 17th.

He possesses a thorough understanding of Hayek's classical liberal economic and political theories.

Symposium Topics:

1. The origins and core values of conservative ideology.

2. The core tenets of classical liberalism and the potential for its integration with conservatism (examining the alliance between the Trump MAGA movement and Elon Musk's philosophies within the American context).
