On July 11, Consul General Luo Weidong attended the 2026 Chinese Canadian Legend Award Gala and delivered remarks. Approximately 500 representatives from three levels of government in Canada, as well as members of the local community from all walks of life, attended the event.

Consul General Luo commended the Chinese Canadian Legend Association(CCLA) for its longstanding commitment to preserving and promoting the fine traditions of the Chinese culture and fostering mutual understanding and integration among diverse cultures. He praised this year's award recipients for their enterprising spirit and dedication to serving society, and expressed his hope that more Chinese Canadians would continue to strive for excellence, realize their aspirations, and write many more inspiring stories of success.

Since 2000, the CCLA has held 25 editions of the awards and has recognized more than 150 outstanding representatives of the Chinese Canadian community. This year's theme is "Inspiring Legends, Lasting Impact – Our Silver Journey and Beyond". Six Chinese Canadian recipients from the fields of sports, healthcare, media, public service, and the arts are honored.
