Oscar Vong - a tribute

Oscar Vong, a young man with incredible potential, was 20 years old when he was killed when hit by a taxi crossing Notre Dame Avenue at Tecumseh Street.

Last night the Burton Cummings Community Centre was full of people who remember Oscar and who came to pay tribute to him.

Front and centre were his teachers and his fellow students. Particularly noteworthy were the many students from the International Baccalaureat Program at Kelvin High School.
Oscar was in the program and he and the other students in the program were like a family of friends. The students came to pay tribute to Oscar and to be present when the new computer lab was dedicated to Oscar.

In the top photo, Oscar is shown in a photo taken at his high school graduation. In the bottom photo, Oscar's mother, Sounantha Vong, is with Mike Pagtakhan and myself at the event last night.
