Martin Hu

Martin Hu is currently a Grade 12 student at Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Oakville. He was born in Toronto to first-generation Chinese immigrants. Despite many challenges in his early years, he always embraced his Chinese-Canadian identity. He went to Mandarin schools during weekends from JK to Grade 8. In 2019, He won second place in the 2019 Tribute to Classics International Poetry Recitation. It was hosted by ChinaDaily and The Mississauga Chinese Business Association as a way of promoting Chinese Culture within Canada. Additionally, he has been a tutor at GSSYA, a Chinese-Canadian nonprofit association designed to help young Chinese-Canadian kids develop their learning of different subjects in school. He has been an Air Cadet at his local squadron, 540 Golden Hawks, since September 2019, his current position being a staff cadet. He teaches younger cadets about aviation, drill, and leadership, as well as assisting in squadron wide activities. He has also been a Trailblazer in SHIELD, which is a student leadership program at school. He helps organize school wide activities and build relationships with the junior grades in this program.

The Scholarship program was established to recognize students who have demonstrated leadership and/or involvement in the promotion and integration of Chinese culture in the community, have achieved good standings in Halton secondary schools and to assist candidates who are in financial need.
