The Chinese Canadian community in Metro Vancouver has donated more than $20,000 to assist residents affected by wildfires in the Okanagan region.

The Canadian Alliance of Chinese Associations (CACA) contributed $10,000 to United Way BC, while the Feng Hong Family Foundation provided an additional $5,000. In addition to the monetary donations, the organizations raised and transported over $5,000 worth of supplies to Penticton to support local relief efforts.
