SFU Centre for Scottish Studies Celebrates Robert Burns Day!
January 23, 2015
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, Friday, January 23, 2015. Teck Gallery, SFU Harbour Centre, 515 W. Hastings St., Vancouver.
For the last three years, the Centre has hosted a very successful marathon reading that has brought old and young together in celebration of the Scottish bard. Last year’s marathon went for a record six hours! This year, we asked people to come down and make history in a different way by joining us for a mass reading/singing of Burns’s most popular works – including “To a Mouse” and “A Man’s a Man” – plus the traditional haggis-addressing and socializing. Starting at noon, our celebration also featured performances of Scottish music and song. Thank you to all those who came out and helped us celebrate Robert Burns Day!
