Mr. Monty Monying Lee

After the war, and prompted by campaigning by Chinese-Canadian veterans, the provincial and federal Canadian governments repealed discriminatory laws and policies restricting the rights of Chinese people (including Canadian born) to citizenship, vote, higher education and free movement. Monty became a proud symbol of this struggle, as a career federal civil servant and as an active contributor to the Anavets and Chinese-Canadian Military Museum.

Monty is predeceased by his first wife Elizabeth Begg Quan Mah and survived by his second wife Meu One Lee; children Ronald Duane (Devy); Janice Amanda; Denise Kelley (Andrew); Michael Darren (Maureen) and Jennifer Elizabeth (Eddy); and beloved grandchildren Jordan, Brandon, Jenny, Gregory, Alexander, Stephen, Juliet and Jason. We will all miss him deeply.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to the Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society, whose goal is to collect, preserve, document and commemorate the role of Chinese-Canadian veterans, or the CCMMS Scholarship Fund.
