In Loving Memory of Tina Mak 🕊️

Remembrance and Celebration of Tina’s Remarkable Life and Legacy

Tina had an extraordinary way of showing up for the people she loved. She was loyal, generous, and deeply connected to those around her, leaving a lasting imprint on every life she touched.

As we come together to honour her life, we are holding space in two ways — one open and one private — to allow for both community and intimacy.

The private service is intended for those personally invited only and offers a quiet, meaningful space to grieve, remember, and celebrate Tina together.

Public Viewing
Open to All

Friday, January 30
4:00 – 6:00 PM
Oceanview Funeral Home, Chapel
4000 Imperial Street, Burnaby, British Columbia

This viewing is open to those who wish to come, pay their respects, and honour Tina’s life in a quiet and meaningful way.

The visitation will begin with Buddhist prayers led by Master Yao Yuan. Following this, there will be an open hour where guests are welcome to come and go at their own pace.

Funeral Webcast
Open to All

Ocean View Funeral Home will be webcasting the funeral ceremony for Tina Mun Wah Mak on Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 9:45–11:15 AM (PST).

Looking Ahead:

More details will be shared in the coming months.

Donations may be made to First Tee – BC at https://firsttbc.com or to any charity that feels meaningful to you, in Tina’s memory.

Thank you for the love, kindness, and support you have shown during this time. Tina’s love lives on in all of us.

Remembering Tina Mak 🕊️

May 5, 1965 - January 2, 2026

It is with sadness and regret that we announce the passing of AREAA Vancouver’s Founder, Tina Mak.

Heaven gained another Angel today.

While this is not the ending we all hoped for, after nearly a courageous 3-year battle against lung cancer, Tina is now in the hands of God this early evening.

Let’s collectively remember Tina Mak for her substantial impact and contribution to our industry, to philanthropy, and to the Asian Real Estate Association of America.

Rest in Power, Tina. 🕊️

AREAA Vancouver is excited to invite you to a special in-person event on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, where we’ll be exploring one of the most important topics shaping our region today:
✨ Immigration Trends and Their Impact on Local Real Estate

Immigration plays a major role in Canada’s growth, Vancouver’s diversity, and the future of our housing market.

This session will unpack:
- The newest immigration policies and projections
- How population growth affects supply, demand, and pricing
- What realtors, homeowners, and investors should prepare for in 2026 and beyond
- Local trends that matter specifically to the Greater Vancouver area

Whether you're a real estate professional, a homeowner, an investor, or simply someone who cares about how immigration shapes our communities, this session will give you clear, practical insight you can use right away.

This is also a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, community leaders, and AREAA Vancouver members who are passionate about education, advocacy, and elevating our industry.

We remember. We honour. We thank.

On Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the legacy of those who served and the generations shaped by their courage. Their stories are woven into the fabric of our communities, reminding us of the strength found in unity, respect, and remembrance.

Title: I’M NOT AN ACTOR
