The Ho Nam Association, also known as the Luke Family Association, was created in the early 20th century for Chinese immigrants who shared the last name Luke, Luc, Look, Lu, Luu and Loh. These overseas associations became surrogate families for immigrants, helping find first housing, jobs and schooling and providing social camaraderie on a day-to-day basis along with special celebrations such as New Years.

Today, the Ho Nam Association is located at the Wing Luke Asian Museum, housed in the former East Kong Yick Building, built by Chinese immigrants in 1912. The location is actually the old home of the Ho Nam Association – the former association was housed in the basement of this very same building for decades. With the existence of the Ho Nam Association in the building from the early years, the new Ho Nam room becomes a continuation of the Luke, Luc, Look, Lu, Luu and Loh Family spirit already present in the building.

Join us as we promote new and interesting activities to encourage participation across the generations of the Ho Nam Association:
