11am on May 24th, Fowley Park in Oakville! The blue sky, bright sunshine, and large cotton-like clouds became the background of the stage. A large lawn covered with early summer green was a paradise for people to gather together. This year’s Oakville Asian Cultural Festival is here as scheduled!
The weather in early summer in Canada is always like a disobedient child. The smiling face of the sun is always sunny and dark. From time to time, there is a gust of wind to cheer up, and a little coolness also sneaks in to join in the fun. However, all this did not dampen the atmosphere of the event and the enthusiasm of all friends. The stage the size of a football field gathered different institutions and organizations from Oakville and Halton. There were food, performances, DIY handicrafts, music, dance, and an air park prepared for children. Just like my friends said, “Haha, the weather is still a little cold, but here we eat, drink, and have fun. The key is that the children are happy!”
There are many sponsors from China for this event, which shows the influence of the Chinese community in the community. Of course, the most outstanding one is Ignite Spirit, a public welfare organization established less than half a year ago. It is an organization dedicated to building harmonious coexistence and unity among people, people and society, and people and wealth. It was independently funded and founded by Reach Wealth Solution, a “Ruiqi Finance and Taxation” company. Its founder, Ms. Shelly Wu, is an asset management expert who has been in Canada for more than 25 years and has been deeply involved in Canadian family finance and taxation management for more than 15 years. She is committed to social responsibility and community obligations. Through Ignite Spirit’s spiritual pursuit of “lighting up life, lighting up you and me”, she has brought community friends “Calligraphy Salon” and “Practical English” high school student volunteer projects to help more young people realize their dreams.
At the Ignite Spirit booth full of art + life +, we can see exquisite calligraphy works, DIY artworks from volunteers, and Nick, the organizer of the “Practical English” high school student volunteer, introduced to his peers and parents how to become a “high school student teacher” to teach practical English to adults. The main lecturer of the calligraphy class, “Teacher Long”, wrote his best calligraphy works on the spot and gave them to friends who liked them for free. It is particularly worth mentioning that Ignite Spirit prepared three live performances, among which the live version of “electronic arrangement” brought by the 14-year-old boy RICKY received the warmest applause on the spot, and an additional performance was performed at the request of the audience. Shelly said, “Ignite Spirit will help more young people realize their dreams in the future, which may become our next new milestone!”
Ms. Shelly said that Reach Wealth Solution will continue to support Ignite Spirit’s various public welfare projects. “As an institution for financial and tax management and asset allocation management, we help customers create wealth, keep wealth, and make wealth sustainable. At the same time, we hope to empower everyone with spiritual values through our public welfare activities and achieve harmonious coexistence between people and wealth.”
Ignite Spirit’s title sponsorship of the 2025 Toronto Asian Cultural Festival is the starting point for helping young people to show themselves!
Ricky Long, a 14-year-old 8th grade student, created his own electronic music. He is currently the captain of the band in school. He has a strong interest in piano, electronic guitar, and music production. Ignite Spirit strongly supports all children with dreams. Welcome to contact us to form an Ignite Spirit band👏👏👏
