One anticipated event every spring is Fairchild Television’s TVB Fan Party held at Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The show usually brings-in four popular names from Hong Kong’s TVB Network giving contest winners a chance to see them speak and sing. The night before the Convention Centre appearance, the stars appear at Markham’s First Markham Place for an autograph signing which usually draws people out by the hundreds.

Fairchild Television and Radio have been instrumental in creating unique Canadian content for the Chinese community here in Canada including securing rights to TVB Series from Hong Kong, allowing immigrants new and old to stay in touch with programming from back home.

Appearing this year are former Miss Chinese International and now popular TV Actress, Vancouver’s Eliza Sam, who just a few years back couldn’t speak a word of Cantonese.  Also in town are former Miss Hong Kong Rebecca Zhu who earlier this year won a Best Supporting Actress Award on her network. Former Mr. Hong Kong, Benjamin Yuen, who is one of the busiest new leading men on TVB also came, as did Mat Yeung who has had a lasting career in supporting roles over the past decade turning his luck around after some troubled times.

We grew-up on TVB Series and love supporting our Chinese-Canadian community. Although thr quartet were exhausted after a long flight and night of meeting corporate sponsors and fans, they were nice to stop for a few Selfies.

See our Snaps. Hover cursor left and right for more.

Always remember your roots. Love supporting our Chinese-Canadian community and the wonderful things #Fairchild does to help them feel a piece of home here in Canada. Loved meeting Miss Chinese International and Actress #ElizaSam who hails from Vancouver, leading man and Mr. Hong Kong #BenjaminYuen, Miss Hong Kong and TVB Best Supporting Actress #RebeccaZhu and popular Actor #MatYeung. The four are here for Fairchild Television’s annual #TVB Fans Party at Metro Toronto Convention Centre tonight. Swipe left for more! #岑麗香 #袁偉豪 #朱晨麗 #楊明

With over 3,000 stores around the world, Jollibee is a major success story for Philippines. The multi-national Fast Food Chain known best for its fried chicken (Chicken Joy) and signature sweet Spaghetti, among several other items, has come to be adored around the world.

Jollibee launched its first-ever Toronto location Sunday, April 1, 2018 with little notice and what resulted was thousands of ardent fans queuing over night for a chance to be the first to re-live that nostalgia – a taste of home. It is reported that the approximate wait time to get into the establishment was seven hours! This is no April Fool’s joke!

While admittedly the menu doesn’t offer anything remarkable or innovative, Jollibee takes American favourites and gives them a distinct Asian spin. Fans of the Brand have connected deeply with it and what it lacks in refined sophistication, it more than makes up for in giving the Filipino community a warm sense of nostalgia and belonging.  We pride Toronto as being an inclusive and diverse place and there always is room for more flavours in our remarkable City!

Fortunately, our wait was only 90 minutes even though we anticipated it being much longer.

Watch our Story:

Jollibee Toronto is located at 15 William Kitchen Road in Scarborough, Ontario and they are open 7 AM to midnight. Hours are subject to change.
