Rosewood Hotel: Immigration

Inoperable Cancer Dept: The event differed from a 300-attendee tribute the Vancouver Chinatown Lions Club threw for Wong in 1995, when investment-biz heavies Sam Belzberg, Peter Brown, Bob Lee and the since-deceased Jack Poole shared the same table, according to Vancouver Sun. Reporting that he'd begun "activities that would extend my runway of life," Wong said: "I'm aspiring to become a modern-day monk." ONE OF US: Blakes lawyer George Burke fronted a tribute to Laurier Institute founder Milton Wong in the Hawksworth restaurant's private York Room recently. Like the restaurant, the upstairs chamber is part of the 84-year-old Hotel Georgia, which will officially reopen Friday as the Rosewood Hotel Georgia after extensive, and extended, renovations. This time, Wong told guests of his own inoperable cancer, said there had been no "positive outcome" to chemotherapy, and that he had "distributed business responsibilities to friends and family and resigned from all corporate and community organization responsibilities." As reported in the news.
