Dr. Ah-Yin Eng September 10, 1928 – April 3, 2021 Dr. Ah-Yin Eng, retired family physician, quietly passed away at 1 p.m. on April 3, 2021 at Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke, Ontario at the age of 92. He leaves behind his loving wife, retired pain specialist and anaesthesiologist, Dr. Wen-Mei Pan, his four children, Susan, David, Helen, Arthur, grandchildren Megan, Ethan, two brothers, a sister and their extended families. The family would like to thank the staff of Miramichi Lodge for their compassionate care and service for Dr. Eng during these last few years. Since his arrival in Pembroke in 1971, Dr. Eng has been a pioneer in the advocacy of the rights of non-smokers, and a philanthropist following his service as the Medical Superintendent on the Fisher River Cree Nation and Peguis First Nation communities in Manitoba (1965-1971) where he worked closely with band leaders to promote the health, education and welfare of those communities. He continued to be a tireless advocate for public health, in locally running the fluoride campaign with Dr. Oshelski, and the sex education campaign to be taught in public high schools in Petawawa before it was a mandated part of the school curriculum as well as promoting AIDS Awareness in the early days of understanding the impact of the disease. Winner of the Heather Crowe Award, he founded the Renfrew County Non-Smokers Association in the early 1970’s and was instrumental in putting Pembroke on the map for passing one of Canada’s first non-smoking bylaws that controlled smoking in indoor public spaces and the workplace. Establishing the Renfrew County Multicultural Society, he and Dr. Pan and members of the local Chinese community aided and housed the resettlement of 3 Chinese Vietnamese refugee families through the Wesley United Church and private sponsorship program in Canada in 1979 and the early 80’s. Throughout the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s, he was a regular contributor to national as well as local newspapers, through his written commentary on medical and public policy issues as they affected public health, and physician qualifications. Through his establishment and work in his Project 1000, he was successful in increasing the recruitment and number of International Medical Graduates in Canadian medicine. Retiring from active medical practice at the age of 83, he was also a staunch advocate for the rights of senior physicians to be able to continue to practice medicine. From humble beginnings in China and then Malaysia, and as half of the first husband-and-wife team of physicians of Chinese descent in the Ottawa Valley area, Dr. Eng and Dr. Pan opened their private practice in Pembroke in 1971. His beloved Alma Mater, the Chung Ling High School in Malaysia, National Taiwan University Medical School also received his tireless support on the international front. Whenever he was asked about his challenges, he would smile and say, “I’ve survived three wars, five different countries, and Pembroke.” His support and service to the area in the donation of the family home and office in 2013 to the Pembroke Regional Hospital (PRH) MRI fund raising effort, the sponsoring of one of the rooms in the new surgical floor at the PRH and the recent donation to the Butterfly Project (Wing 1A) at Miramichi Lodge, are just a few examples of his many financial contributions to the local healthcare system that are a testament to his dedication to the community that he served. His voice will be missed. He will be missed. (Dr. Eng was cremated in a private family ceremony. In lieu of flowers, donations earmarked for supporting the 1A Wing at Miramichi Lodge are gratefully appreciated by the family.) Arrangements entrusted to the Murphy Funeral Home, Pembroke.

As a donor, you are responsible for researching the charity, understanding how your money will be used, and understanding the tax implications of your donation. We will email you a receipt, but the deductibility of your donation depends on your individual tax situation. We are not financial, tax, or legal experts. Please do not rely on our information to make decisions about your finances, taxes or legal matters. Consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.
Participating organizations have chosen to actively participate in the “Sponsor Program” to be represented in the Sponsor Charity array in an effort to increase their exposure and the opportunity for more memorial donations to be made to their organization. A rate structure is agreed upon and assessed on each donation processed through that program according to each organization’s individual agreement. Giving through that program has helped many organizations realize a drastic and significant increase in net donations.
If a donation form has a line item of Convenience Fee. The Convenience fee is displayed to you prior to approving the charge to your payment card. The convenience fee is in addition to the donation amount, so they do not affect the amount reaching the charitable organization. For example, a $100 donation becomes a $101.50 transaction. The convenience fee is directed immediately to a for-profit service provider. According to IRS and CRA rules the tax deductible receipt will therefore only be issued for the subtotal amount.
My Tribute Gift Foundation seeks to distribute all funds to organizations provided they have maintained active 501c3 certification in the United States or registered charity status in Canada. MTG relies on the beneficiary organizations to maintain and keep up to date contact information on file with the IRS or CRA respectively. This must be done in order for My Tribute Gift Foundation to exercise care and reasonable efforts to distribute payment promptly, without undue cost and burden to the foundation. In the event that a payment has not been deposited 12 months from issuance, the foundation reserves the right to utilize those funds in its mission to the foundation.
