PNOA Annual Community Service Day 2026
Giving Back to Our Community, One Step at a Time
On October 4, PNOA partnered with Metro Vancouver for our annual Community Service Day at Iona Beach Regional Park in Richmond.
With beautiful weather and lots of enthusiasm, more than 30 PNOA members gathered shortly after 9:00 a.m. We started with a brief introduction to the day’s activities, work assignments, and safety guidelines. Everyone received gloves, garbage bags, and the necessary tools before we divided into three groups, with each group responsible for a different section of the shoreline.
The beautiful scenery, fresh air, and sunshine made the work especially enjoyable. We walked, talked, laughed, and worked together while giving back to our community. Each group covered approximately 10 kilometres during the morning.
Around noon, we wrapped up the work and headed back together. The sunshine on everyone’s faces reflected the joy and satisfaction we felt after a meaningful morning.
Exercise and doing good — a perfect win-win!
Our clothes were soaked with sweat, but our hearts were filled with positive energy and a wonderful sense of accomplishment.
Special Thanks
A very special thank you to Li Wan, Timothy Chen, James Chen, and Yolanda Zeng for their leadership, organization, and support in making this meaningful community service event a success.
And a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated! Your enthusiasm, teamwork, and willingness to give back made the day truly special.
In our busy lives, it is wonderful to come together, connect with nature, serve our community, and simply enjoy each other’s company.
Happy hearts. Refreshed spirits. Meaningful moments together.
Together, we care. Together, we give back. Together, we make a difference.

PNOA 2026 年度社区公益服务日
一起亲近自然，一起回馈社区
10月4日，PNOA 与 Metro Vancouver 合作，在 Richmond Iona Beach Regional Park 举行了一年一度的社区公益服务活动。
当天阳光明媚，大家兴致勃勃。早上9点多，30多位 PNOA 会员来到集合地点。活动开始前，我们简单介绍了当天的行程、工作内容和安全注意事项，并为大家分发工具、手套和垃圾袋。
随后，大家分成三个小组，每组负责不同的海岸区域，开始当天的清洁工作。
海边风景优美，吹着海风、晒着阳光，大家一边捡拾垃圾，一边聊天说笑。虽然是一项公益劳动，却因为有一群志同道合的伙伴同行，而变得轻松又快乐。每个小组大约完成了 10公里左右的清理路程。
中午12点左右，我们完成了当天的工作。回程的路上，阳光照在大家的脸上，虽然汗水已经湿透了衣服，但每个人脸上都带着开心和满足的笑容。
运动和做好事，是双赢！
身体流下的是汗水，心里收获的却是满满的正能量和成就感。
特别感谢
特别感谢 老万 Li Wan、Timothy Chen、James Chen 和 Yolanda Zeng 对这次活动的带领、组织和支持！感谢你们付出的时间、精力和热情，让这次社区公益活动顺利而圆满地完成。
同时，也衷心感谢每一位参加活动的会员！因为大家的积极参与、互相帮助和团队精神，这个特别的日子才更加有意义。
在忙碌的生活中，能够和一群朋友走进大自然，为社区尽一份力量，同时享受彼此的陪伴，是一件非常幸福的事情。
心中欢喜，身心愉悦；亲近自然，回馈社区。
一起关爱，一起付出，一起让社区变得更美好！
