Biography
Lee was born in 1973 in Hong Kong, the youngest of four children and only girl. Her mother was a nurse at the emergency ward of Queen Mary Hospital, and her father was a professor of criminology at the University of Hong Kong. In the summer of 1980, shortly before Lee turned seven, she emigrated with her parents and siblings to Canada, spending the first six months in Victoria, Vancouver Island before settling in the Lower Mainland's most populous city and economic hub of Vancouver, British Columbia. Lee attended L'École Bilingue (an elementary French immersion) from grades two to seven, and Kitsilano Secondary School (where she continued the French immersion program) from grades eight through twelve. Lee was a straight-As student, and also partook in many extracurricular programs including sports like field hockey and tennis, volunteer activities like the food bank and book drive, and from age 11 to 17 was in the Royal Canadian Army Cadets (from age 14 as a cadet instructor).
