Latest news - Chapter 1 - Founding of CDNIS

The story of CDNIS did not start in September 1991, the month it first opened its doors to its students. It tied in intimately with important events of the past that affected Hong Kong.

Chinese Canadian Association (“CCA”) was a young association established in 1987 by a group of returnees from Canada. Their active members shared the concern of the government and the plight of the middle to lower class returnees from Canada.

Fund-raising was a problem and the skepticism of the community was understandable. Initially, each founder provided HKD10,000.00 as a personal loan to start CDNIS.
