The Chief Executive, Mr Donald Tsang, received fight crime ambassadors at Government House on July 22 and wished them a smooth and rewarding trip to Canada.
The 21 young ambassadors are winners of the secondary school, post secondary school and non-government organisation (youth service and uniformed group) categories of the "Hang Seng Bank - Help the Police Fight Youth Crime Competition 2010". They will leave for Canada on August 19 to visit police and other government departments in Vancouver and Regina during an eight-day trip.
Commending their outstanding performances in the competition, Mr Tsang said the ambassadors had shown brilliant leadership and analytical skills.
The theme of this year's competition was "Combating Youth Drug Abuse and Cyber Crime". Mr Tsang congratulated the ambassadors and called on them to keep on fighting online crimes and disseminating anti-crime and anti-drug messages to their peers and the community.
He also reminded them to make good use of the trip to introduce to Canada the latest developments in Hong Kong and spread fight crime messages.
