Tsuen Wan residents to be given double treat
More than 5,500 residents in Tsuen Wan will be given a double treat at Sha Tsui Road Playground where a rich programme of cultural and recreational events will be staged for them tomorrow (Friday).
With the duel purpose of marking the 15th anniversary of the Tsuen Wan District Board and celebrating the Chinese Mid-autumn Festival, the organisers also hoped that participation in the various activities would help cultivate a sense of pride and belonging among residents in the district.

It has initiated, organised and sponsored numerous community involvement projects and activities to promote a stronger community spirit, social cohesion and the general well-being of the people in the district.
Highlights of the programme include performances by pop singers Hacken Lee, Amanda Li, Joyce Lee, and Leo Ku, the Yao Ling-sun College philharmonic orchestra, traditional dragon and lion dances and dramas.
Other anniversary celebration activities will be held in the coming months, including environmental improvement projects exhibition, commerce and industry exhibitions, road safety campaigns and conducted with a Chinese opera dramatising the contributions of the elderly to the community.
The 15th Tsuen Wan District Board Anniversary cum Mid-autumn Festival celebration was jointly organised by the Tsuen Wan District Board 15th Anniversary Organising Committee and the Radio Television Hong Kong, with the assistance of the Tsuen Wan District Office.
It will cost $400,000, of which $280,000 was funded by the district board and the rest covered by local donations.
The acting Director of Home Affairs, Mr Lee Lap-sun; the Tsuen Wan District Officer, Mr Gavin Ure; the Tsuen Wan District Board Chairman, Mr Chan Lau-fong, and the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mr Chan Wai-ming, will officiate at the opening ceremony.
