或许有人会好奇为什么温哥华最新的艺文媒体要叫 “Pan”couver「泛」哥华。

你或许认为是因为大部分的内容都与泛亚州有关。的确,我们专注报导温哥华日益茁壮的文化多样性与创造力,它们来自日本、台湾,甚至是土耳其的安纳托利亚半岛地区。

但事实上「泛」哥华(Pancouver) 是以 Leigh Pan 和 Carol Pan 这对生于台湾的夫妇而命名的。两人在温哥华是各大艺术组织和健康慈善机构慷慨的赞助者。

潘氏夫妇在台大相识,并于年轻时移民北美。Leigh 曾担任联邦和省级公务员职位多年。最终,Leigh 和 Carol 在维多利亚成立了一家批发公司,销售由华丽的 B.C.玉石、玫瑰石制作成的珠宝及雕塑。

两人在商业上取得了巨大成就,为他们的慈善事业奠下基础。在加拿大获得成功的机会,让两人一直想回馈这个自己称作是家的地方。

卑诗癌症基金会于 2019 年公开感谢 Leigh 和 Carol 在医疗设备与研究上的慷慨捐赠,基金会运用他们的善款购买了 PET/CT 扫描仪来降低患者等待的时间。

另外,潘氏夫妇也是温哥华许多艺文活动的大力支持者,这些活动为太平洋两岸的艺术家提供了一个展演与发声的平台。

他们毕生致力于造福社会、默默行善,并且无心获得公众的注目。我们认为是时候改变这一点了。

当你下次在网页里输入‘Pancouver’这个字时,不妨思考一下有什么是你可以与他人分享,或是为社区带来一些改变的。
