Biography

Glynnis Chan is a single mom, a successful business-owner, charity fundraiser, and a community volunteer; she exemplifies a strong and caring woman in Canada.

An immigrant from Hong Kong in 1980, she moved as a young adult to try a new opportunity in Vancouver. She started her travel business in 1984, the Happy Times Travel & Tour; and at one time run multi-offices in Richmond and Vancouver. She also engaged in various travel-related business including 11 fleets of highway coach lines; training class for travel consultants and tour guide services; travel tours, cruise vacations and group conventions. Sadly, since April 2020 the business operations were suspended due to travel restrictions brought by the pandemic. She still busies herself as travel affairs commentator on tri-media programs.

A long-time resident of Burnaby for over 35 years; she raised her two children (now professionals at age 26 & 28) by herself while still working on the business and juggling on her volunteer works in the community. As co-chair for fund-raising charity events; and in a span of 20 years, she and her team were able to help raise over one-million dollars for various foundations like Canadian Cancer Society, Alzheimer Society of BC and the BC CANCER Foundation. Other than hosting charity walks and dinner galas; she and her group hosted big events like the Fairchild Media Telethon and Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant Gala.

As an active member-director of the society, she involves herself in twinning sister-city and sister-province activities for mutual cooperation, cultural exchange and economic collaboration between the cities of Vancouver and Guangzhou; and the provinces of British Columbia and Guangdong, China.

She loves to serve and listen to people; that’s why representing the constituents of Burnaby-Deer Lake would be an honour to give back to the community. A true people-person indeed.
