Mr. George Chiu was born and raised in Taiwan but migrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1967. It was there in Montreal that George was first introduced to the game of golf and not surprisingly, since his home is situated near a golf course.
By 1979 George move to Brampton, Ontario with his family and together with his brother James Chiu and another friend started a restaurant and named it “Mandarin”. From their humble beginning and his strong vision to grow George together with his brother and friend work hard and slowly expanded their restaurant enterprise. Today with their strong commitment and hard work they have grown to a total of twenty-one restaurants spread across Ontario.
Early today at Mandarin Restaurant located at 7660 Woodbine Avenue, in Markham, Ontario, Mr. George Chiu and the members of the Canadian Chinese golfers Association jointly held a press conference to announce the inauguration of the George Chiu Golf Classic to be held in July 24th and 25th 2010 at Angus Glen Golf Club.
Mr. George Chiu is humbled and privileged to lend his name for this golf classic. He hopes through this tournament young Chinese golfers can be encouraged to participate in the game. He intends to establish a scholarship to help in the development of deserving young Chinese golfers.
