New 2007 poster: Gung Haggis Fat Choy: Toddish McWong's Robbie Burns Chinese New Year Dinner

It is also running as an ad in Common Ground magazine, as this was designed by their graphics department, based on files for our original 2005 poster created by Jaime Griffiths.
Common Ground magazine is one of this year's event sponsors, and will once again sponsor our VIP table. I think that this is a great relationship as Gung Haggis Fat Choy seeks to find common ground between Scots-Canadian and Chinese-Canadian history and cultures, as well as other Canadian cultures and histories. more »

Vancouver Sun 2002: Toddish McWong marks Bard's birthday - the newsclipping

Here's the story that the Vancouver Sun's Pete McMartin wrote about me in January 2002. I just sent it to Toronto to be included for the CBC Generations documentary.
It was a fun interview, and we went to the Vancouver Sun for the photo shoot. 2002 was the first year the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner attracted maj or media attention. I did an interview with Bill Richardson for CBC Radio's flagship afternoon show "Richardson's Roundup," for which Sonia and I read the Jim Wong-Chu poem "Recipe for Tea." It is a poem written for two voices and describes how tea travelled from China to Scotland. more »
