Gung Haggis What?????

Gung Haggis Fat Choy was created in 1998 when Todd Wong hosted a small dinner party celebrating both Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns Day. The SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy Canadian Games began in 2005 on the Burnaby Campus and included dragon cart (instead of boat) races.
This year SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy has tag teamed with the Robbie Burns Day Committee to bring you a combined event from 12-1pm in Convo Mall on Monday, January 25th. The Mall will be transformed into a cultural collage of the senses with an Opening Ceremonies (including the Lion Dance by SFU’s Kung Fu Club and Highland Dancing), the Haggis ceremony accompanied by an SFU Bagpiper, traditional dragon cart races, lots of prizes, cultural food including haggis and spring rolls, plus some tea to keep us all warm (bring your own mug)!
