About Us

One Book, One Theme, One Charity! There are two group-reading sessions with a fee for 10 weeks each in spring and fall every year. Each session, A.I.R. picks books from the categories ranging from parenting, family, intimate relationship, and personal growth. Every week, we host in-depth book discussion facilitated by volunteers, and for every book read we select one charity and donate funds to help vulnerable groups in accordance with the book theme picked.

To enrich members’ lives, bonding friendship, integrating Canadian cultures with Chinese cultures, and most importantly to transform reading into action, we organize a series of events in winter and summer, including family outings, parent-child games, workshops, volunteer activities, visits to social-welfare organizations, and other series of activities. We also invite guest speakers and moderate panel discussion to promote a healthy and positive lifestyle.
