Canada's 'new-age Bethune' gets award

OTTAWA - "We have established extensive contacts with Chinese people and forged deep friendship," said Lee Edward Errett, winner of 2018 Chinese Ambassador's Award in Canada, recently.

The award is designed to commend Canadians who make outstanding contributions to the development of China-Canada relations.

China's Ambassador to Canada Lu Shaye praises Errett as "contemporary Bethune" because he has contributed to the promotion of the Contemporary Bethune in Action activities and that of China-Canada medical cooperation.
