The month of May is Asian Heritage Month
From the producers of Banana Boys, Singkil, and Lady in the Red Dress, Fu-GEN Asian Canadian Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of Brown Balls. Playing at Toronto’s Factory Studio Theatre from May 3rd – 15th. In this edgy, hard-hitting play, three young men disguised as Bruce Lee, Charlie Chan, and Fu Manchu take the audience hostage and explode Asian male stereotypes. Issues of race, gender and sex collide as the Brown Balls Collective (BBC) embarks upon an honest, unapologetic, and often hilarious exposé of the contemporary Asian male in the West.
Check out the Brown Balls promo videos:

Chinese Canadian Youth Achievement Awards (2000-present)
2006 2007 2008 2009
The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto Youth Chapter (CCCYC) would like to congratulate our award winners from the past Chinese Canadian Youth Achievement Awards. Year in and year out, outstanding youth were chosen out of the many applications by our honourable judges from the Chinese community to recognize their accomplishments and talent.
Take the Lead to Feed the Need (Mar - Aug 2009)
This was a youth initiative that was a response to the economic crisis in recent times. CCCYC partnered up with CCC and all proceeds went to the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank. There was an awareness campaign, kick-off ceremony, food drive, food sorting at the Daily Bread facilities, and finished off with a BBQ. The initiative raised over $10,000 and 600 lbs of food. This was a big success in helping out the community.
Job Search Initiative - Resume Workshop (July 2009)
CCCYC organized a resume workshop to help youth prepare for their job search. Youth attending the workshop received pointers on wiring a resume from a presentation and peer reviews were done to look over each attendees resumes. A recruiter was also present to provide professional advice on job-hunting.
Toy Sorting with Salvation Army (Annually in December)
As part of the Toy Mountain initiative, CCCYC has been doing our part to help children receive gifts during the holiday season. We have helped sort donated toys at the Salvation Army's toy distribution centre. Check out some past pictures: click here
Chinese New Year Celebrations at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto, ROM, Toronto City Hall (2000 - Present)
CCCYC has taken part in CCC's Chinese New Year celebrations and have displayed our creative contributions to educating and bringing fun to all attendees. Look for our Wheel of Fortune and the Nian display.
High School Volunteer Fair (2004-2006)
The High School Volunteer Fair was initiated to help all high school students in the GTA to attain their mandatory volunteer hours as well as exposure to the many types of volunteer opportunities and organizations out there. In the past, volunteer organizations such as United Way of Greater Toronto, Toronto Public Library, Heart & Stroke Foundation and more have attended the fair. We continue to work with organizations by providing volunteer opportunities with our members.
Chinese Canadian Youth Conference (2000-2005)
The Chinese Canadian Youth Conference has held workshops and forums on youth topics ranging from careers to youth violence to identity - Are you Chinese? Are you Canadian? The most recent conference focused on transitioning from secondary to post-secondary education. Speakers were brought in to discuss about academic transition, social transition, and wellness (physical & mental).
