Unlike western calendars, the lunar Chinese new year calendar has names that are repeated every 60 years. Within the 'Stem-Branch' system is the shorter cycle of 12 years denoted by animals:
2010 is the Chinese year of the Tiger. In particular, this is the year of Gēng-yín 庚寅 (Metal Tiger). Gēng is the seventh of the ten celestial stems and Yín (Tiger) is the third of the twelve terrestrial branches, thus February 14th 2010 marks the year of the Tiger with its association to bravery.
This year the Canadian Chinese Golfers Association celebrate Chinese on January 30thth 2010 at the Garden Banquet & Convention Centre, 8 Clipper Court, Brampton. Close to four hundreds guests and friends attended the gala.
