As winter settles in and many cultures around the world celebrate the winter solstice or Christmas, we wish you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, reflection, and cherished moments.
Dr. James Gordon Nelson, founder and first Director of the Heritage Resources Centre, renowned environmental scholar, and second Dean of the Faculty of Environment, passed away on May 11.
This Saturday heralds the commencement of the Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Loong. On behalf of all of us at HRC, we wish everyone a joyous and prosperous New Year.
In traditional Chinese culture, the Loong, known as the "Chinese dragon," embodies power, nobility, and honour. It is revered as a symbol of luck and success, holding profound significance in Chinese mythology and folklore. The Loong serves as a beacon of hope and prosperity, symbolizing the aspirations of the Chinese people for a bright future.
In the spirit of this festive season, we invite all to embrace cultural understanding across the globe. From all of us at HRC, we extend our warmest wishes for a beautiful New Year season. Happy Chinese New Year!
