Yesterday was Canada D'eh - the biggest Canada Day celebration in Asia.
Lan Kwai Fong was awash with cowboy hats and red and white costumes last night as Hong Kong's Canadians celebrated in style.
More than 12,000 people showed their national colours last year and more were expected to attend this year's festivities. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce organised street entertainers, DJs blasting Canadian music, and bars and restaurants serving Canadian beer and snacks to keep the crowds entertained.
'Canada D'eh is a wonderful celebration for the people of Canada and Hong Kong, and it is a symbol of the links we share,' said Bernard Pouliot, CanCham's chairman of the board of governors for the past two years.
'Building on the success of the past four years, the chamber is committed to this annual event which promotes Canadian connections, businesses and products of one of the largest international communities in Hong Kong.'
Chamber president Victor Apps said this year's event would be a milestone because it marked CanCham's 30th anniversary, the 5th Canada D'eh party, Canada's 140th birthday, and the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong since the handover.
'This occasion is an opportunity for us all to remember and celebrate the strong connections between Canada and Hong Kong,' Mr Apps said.
