Team Kairos - Hong Kong, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Kuala Lumpur

As the hours creep by, I am almost all packed up and ready to leave for the Ottawa airport; fly to Toronto, and then Hong Kong from there!

Our Junior Team Canada team of trade ambassadors, Team Kairos, has been working hard in the last week or so, to prep for this amazing Trade Mission. We have a team name established, t-shirts designed and all of the dedication and determination to succeed and represent Canada well.

While deciding on a team name, I came up with the idea for the name - KAIROS. This idea came to me for several reasons: Kairos was the Greek God of Opportunity, and was depicted as a youth with a long lock of hair hanging down from his forehead, which indicated that Opportunity could only be grasped as he approached.

How does this relate to our team? Well... simple.

Our team is comprised of a vast group of intellectual, creative, ambitious and like-minded individuals. As we all venture forth to China and Malaysia, our purpose is to foster, develop and strengthen the opportunities between Canadian and Chinese trade and development. On top of this, Global Vision and Junior Team Canada is all about finding, creating and grasping opportunities - and turning them into success. Opportunities will be grasped as WE, Team Kairos, approach.

With all of this said, Team Kairos is more than prepared to enter China, tackle the important questions, challenges and meetings we face ahead!

GO Team Kairos! A land of opportunity awaits!
