Message of Thanks - 'Save Our Harbour' Campaign

Our Society wish to thank the members of the Hong Kong community for their invaluable contributions to the 'Save Our Harbour' Campaign undertaken by our Society over the past ten years. Due to the large numbers, we are unable to thank all of you individually. Your enthusiastic support and generous donations have enabled us to pursue our work to protect and preserve Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour and to secure the Judgment of the Court of Final Appeal that the Harbour is a special public asset and a natural heritage of Hong Kong people to be transmitted from generation to generation. Please continue to support us.
