Chinese New Year celebrations have kicked off around the globe, and members of the Chinese community living in St. John's got in on the action this weekend with the province's biggest celebration yet. On Saturday, the Chinese Association of Newfoundland and Labrador hosted around 375 people at the CLB Armoury for a dinner gala to celebrate the Year of the Dog. "Chinese New Year is like Christmas here," said Frank Huang, vice-president of the association. Two women perform at the celebration, the biggest ever in St. John's. Senator David Wells presents Dr. Kim Hong with a medal honouring his support of the Chinese community in Newfoundland and Labrador.
