Gung Haggis Fat Choy!

Here’s one of those “Only in Canada” cultural events that I can sink my teeth into: Gung Haggis Fat Choy!, a cross-cultural event that takes advantage of the proximity of Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns’ Day. It’s an event organized by one “Toddish McWong” that takes place at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and pays homage to SFU’s Scots roots and sizable Chinese student population.

(A tip o’ the hat to my co-worker Elizabeth for pointing me to the site!)
