                        Vancouver celebrate the Double Ninth or
                        Chongyang Festival at 11am on Sunday, October 15
                        at the Mountainview Cemetery Chinese Pavilion.  
                        As ¡§nine¡¨ is pronounced ¡§jiu¡¨ meaning ¡§long¡¨ in
                        Chinese, so people endow the word jiu with the
                        meaning of longevity with a person's life. In
                        China, in the year of 1989, Chongyang Festival
                        was designated as Senior's Day - a day to
                        respect the elderly and to let them enjoy
                        themselves. Many companies organize groups where
                        retired people can go out to climb mountains or
                        on other outings. Members of a family also
                        accompany their elders to have a relaxing day in
                        a natural setting while wishing health and
                        happiness upon them.  After our ceremony, a rare sight was seen, we watched a flock of Canadian geese flew overhead, moving southwards. 
                        We then drove to the YFT Society Hall for a
                        hearty and delicious afternoon buffet lunch.  Martin Yee |
