Postponement of event

In response to the recent development of new coronavirus disease, the hiking activity「GITPA – 鼠年新春行大運」which was originally scheduled for 8 February 2020, will be postponed until further notice.

In the face of the epidemic, please pay attention to personal hygiene and take good care of your health.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE GRADE MANAGEMENT

Recently, some of the colleagues were taking part in the special task force to assist in fighting the epidemic.  Some colleagues had reflected their concerns on the working arrangement and GITPA thus issued an email to OGCIO Grade Management Team, making recommendations on some areas of improvement on 20 February 2020.  We hope that the suggestions will allay colleagues’ worries and allow them to perform this meaningful work with greater peace of mind and better confidence.  

We will win this anti-epidemic war when we all commit the best we are!

Coming activities

Happy New Year of 2020!  We wish you good health, happiness, and success in the coming year and always!

We all long for a new activity for us to gather again.  GITPA will hold the hiking event after Lunar New Year, as a good chance for all of our members and friends to enjoy nature together.  This year, the「GITPA — 鼠年新春行大運」will be held on 8 February 2020 (Saturday).  The route we planned is the famous “Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail”.  The trail used to be a key route for villagers to communicate and do trade with the outside world in the old days.  Now it is a trail to connect urban people and nature.  The country trail enjoys a 180-degree panorama of Tsing Yi, Rambler Channel, Ting Kau Bridge, Tsing Ma Bridge, and Lantau Island.  Come join us and you will be amused by the stunning countryside view of Hong Kong!
