Gung Haggis Fat Choy

Gung Haggis Fat Choy is more than just a fusion of Scottish and Chinese cultural events. Originally, I stated that British Columbia’s original pioneers were not English and French as in founding colonial cultures of Canada = but actually Chinese and Scottish. Many of BC’s early explorers such as Alexander Mackenzie and Simon Fraser were of Scottish ancestry, as was the founding governor Sir James Douglas, and Vancouver’s first mayor Malcolm Alexander Maclean. I am also very interested in my Chinese-Canadian ancestry and Canadian roots. My paternal grandfather arrived in Canada in 1882 and my maternal great great grandfather in 1896. This has also led me to explore the history and contemporary culture of British Columbia with special interests in Chinese-Canadian and Scottish-Canadian as well as mixed-race culture.
