A life in print
City Prints
Tommy began learning the printing trade at seventeen. He stayed with it for more than forty years, owned City Prints from 1999 to 2023, and still came back as a consultant after the business changed hands.
Through the shop he gave experience, friendship and practical help to small businesses across Calgary, and to the Chinese and Vietnamese communities that knew his door was open.
