Message from CanCham

Dear Members and Friends of CanCham,

This month, we would like to take a moment to reflect on a meaningful milestone for our chamber and share what lies ahead.

Last month, CanCham Vietnam hosted the Children's Cancer Run, bringing together more than 3,000 participants, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters in a shared commitment to helping children battling cancer in Vietnam.

The event was a tremendous success not only in raising funds for an important cause, but also in demonstrating the strength, generosity, and compassion of our community.

Building on this momentum, June continues to offer valuable opportunities for connection and engagement.

This month, we are pleased to host our Vietnam Relocation Webinar, designed to provide practical insights for professionals, families, and businesses navigating relocation and life in Vietnam.

We look forward to welcoming expert speakers on education, healthcare, housing, work permits, and the job market who will share their experiences and advice with participants from around the world.

Preparations are also well underway for Canada Day 2026, one of the most anticipated events on the CanCham calendar.

This year's celebration will bring together members, partners, government representatives, and friends of Canada for an evening of networking, entertainment, and community spirit.

With a World Cup-inspired theme, Canada Day promises to showcase the energy, diversity, and strong connections that define the Canada–Vietnam relationship. There are now less than two weeks to go - so register for tickets now!

As we approach the second half of the year, we remain committed to creating meaningful opportunities for our members to connect, collaborate, and grow. Thank you for your continued support, participation, and contribution to the CanCham community.

Warm regards,

CanCham Team.
