2018年的點問頓華人社區
慶祝中秋節活動
埃德蒙頓市華人社區在好幾次因天氣不得不改期之下, 終於在九月廿二日星期六, 唐人街中華文化中心慶祝中秋節。這是第一次在室內舉行慶祝中秋的活動。
當日上午九時，五十多個志願者已經在文化中心內開始了他們的工作。他們建舞台，排桌椅, 掛起橫幅，掛指示牌, 也掛上作為主角的不同的形状，大小和顏色的百多個燈籠; 集中掛在一個角落中的室內帳篷。不同顏色和不同形狀富有色彩的燈籠, 增加添節日浪漫的氣氛。
下午一時, 在體育館主會場內，各種出色的表演節目正式開始。銷售攤子有品茶, 補身藥品和食物， 珠寶, 手工藝，玩具, 絲綢畫; 推廣各項服務的攤位有中華文化中心書館, 糖尿病協會, 天主教社會服務, 埃德蒙頓孔子学院, Culligan水站等, 一切都準備就緒。也在邊廳中, 展開活動如燈籠製作、麵團藝術、剪紙、携中国結、面塑、抖空竹、書法、中國象棋、猜燈謎、講故事，等等, 老幼中青, 各適其適。慶祝中秋當然不能缺少月餅。大會早已預備了迷你月餅贈送給長者, 亦接受捐款捐贈給埃德蒙頓食物庫。圓圓的月餅包含著一家團聚的意義。
這次慶祝活動的成功, 不僅要感謝多名來自各階層的熱心義務工作者, 所有表演團體, 大會司儀 – Adrienne Lamb, 劉南燕，以及所有由聯邦政府－ 艾蒙頓國會議員索希Minister Amarjeet Sohi, 省政府－ 阿爾伯達省政府運輸部長Minister Brian Mason, 市政府－ Councillor Tony Caterina，和MP Kelly McCauley, MP Kerry Diotte, MLA Thomas Dang and MLA David Shepherd, 及埃德蒙頓公立學校派出觀禮的代表外; 並要感謝各贊助商的大力支持。
晚上八時左右, 活動的壓軸就開始了, 獅子帶領著人群環繞中華文化中心會場遊行一週。大家排隊拿著由LED裝飾點亮的小船，把小船掛在預先停在旁邊停車場的巨大龍舟旁邊。點點光源，有若天上閃爍的星星，在濃厚中秋節氣氛中, 默默地給大家送上無限的祝福。
