Farewell-Feier Marthe Lemay
Thursday, August 8, 2019 – starting at 6:30 pm
The DKG regional group Rhine-Ruhr has always felt it as a big award, that a Canadian representation with the Canadian Consulate in Düsseldorf is located in its region besides the Canadian Embassy in Berlin and the Consulate in Munich. The cooprporation with the Consuls has always been appreciated. This applies in particular for the current Consul Marthe Lemay, who has to leave Düsseldorf in August after five years of work.
That is the reason why we would thank Marthe Lemay in person before her departure for the long-standing, brilliant coorporations and for her generous support to the German-Canadian Association. Therefore we invite you to our Farewell-Party at the ship restaurant Canoo in Düsseldorf on August 8, 2019.
Registration: Please download here the registration formular and sent the filled formular to our e-mail info@dkg-online.de. Various alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as fingerfood will be served. Due to generous donations and sponsorships we could reduce the participation fee to 30 € per person. The fee has to be transferred to the bank account of the German-Canadian Association (DKG).
Location: Canoo, Robert-Lehr-Ufer 19, 40474 Düsseldorf
Canadian canoe races in Brohl / Rhine
Saturday, August 17 until 18, 2019
The DKG Rhineland invites all members, Canada Lovers and Canadians to the annual 10 people Canadian canoe race at the harbour of Brohl. Traditionally the DKG Rhineland has a mixed team with 10 people. Our Longtime Leader of the DKG Rhineland, Gunter Engelke, set the foundation stone for the participation in this traditional Canadian canoe race and Alex Dold, his successor, continued this tradition also with improvements in the final rankings. Now I, Reinhold Kremer, will do so together with your help and your support so that we again have a DKG-Team
Previous knowledge is not needed – all participants of the last years were amateurs, so we are not searching for paddling professionals. Everyone is heartily welcome! Who else but ourselves is better qualified for such a race in the harbour of Brohl / Rhine?
If you are interested to get a place in the canoe, please contact us as soon as possible and also forward the info to your friends and acquaintances, so that they also help us in supporting the DKG team. We will rock the harbour of Brohl 2019 with your help!
