TORONTO, June 23, 2015 /CNW/ – Two celebrity chefs/restaurateurs, Vikram Vij and Susur Lee, have been named among this year’s RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants, the people’s choice program that celebrates inspiring Canadian immigrants. Presented by Canadian Immigrant magazine, other winners from the food world include Shasha Navazesh, who founded ShaSha Co., Canada’s leading artisan bakery, and John Chang, proprietor of award-winning Lulu Island Winery.
Nearly all of this year’s winners arrived in their new home country more than a decade ago and made a significant contribution to Canada since their arrival. They’ve built their skills and expertise, and went on to successful endeavours. Several have received international acclaim for achievements in their fields, including cancer researcher Dr. Tak Wah Mak who discovered the T-cell receptor, often described as the “Holy Grail of immunology.”
