Congratulations to Steven Ngo – Chair, VPABC Advocacy Committee on his significant achievement for the relentless strive to help end racism. On Thursday, March 24th, 2022, he was awarded the Medal of Good Citizenship from the Province of BC. This is one of the highest honours bestowed to British Columbians and is in recognition for his efforts during the pandemic to combat anti-Asian hate.
Steven stated: “This is a collective effort by our entire community. I want to do a special call-out to Que-Tran, President of VPABC, The radio team, The BOD, and Thuy to connect our advocacy committee with the right people within government. These efforts led to many meetings with the Vancouver Police Board, BC RCMP, Minister of Justice, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, US Consulate General and many other organizations. VPABC’s name was everywhere and anywhere.”
