Dutch Treat Canada (Toronto/GTA)
We keep working on
our new website L.
In the meantime, you can reach us at info@dutchtreat.ca
Dutch Treat Canada is a (free)
social and cultural club for the Dutch-Canadian community in Toronto and the
GTA. We organize a number of activities for various people: young and old;
families, couples and singles; in or outside the city. We communicate in both
Dutch and English.
It goes without saying we celebrate national holidays like Queen's Day,
Sinterklaas, and others. We also organize monthly borrels ('drinks',
'pubnights') in the evening and regular daytime coffee mornings. We have
Winter Sports Days, Easter Parties, Picnics, Billiard Evenings, a number of
cultural outings and much, much more. In our newsletters we try to keep our
members informed, also about activities of other Dutch-Canadian events and
activities in Toronto and the GTA.If you want information, or are interested
in becoming a member (we are Dutch, it is free!), please e-mail info@dutchtreat.ca (and indicate your
preference for Dutch or English newsletters).
Dutch Treat has almost 900 members
(Feb. 2010) and reaches an estimated 2000+ Dutch-Canadians on a regular
basis.

DUTCH TREAT WINTER SPORTS 2010
Sunday, February 28, 2010 - Horseshoe Valley
(optional: add
Saturday, February 27)
Are you a ski or snowboard enthusiast? Do you like cross country
skiing, or do snow shoeing and the spectacular snow tubing sound interesting?
Then the Dutch Treat Winter Sports is definitely for
you!
On Sunday, February
28th, Dutch Treat organizes its fourth annual trip to Horseshoe Valley. The
resort just North of Barrie has something for everybody: besides before
mentioned activities you can skate, swim, hop on a
snow mobile, perhaps even dogsled!
Of course we
conclude the day with another great Dutch Treat Après-Ski – last
year not only a highlight of the day, but according to some of the whole
Dutch Treat year!
OVERNIGHT
STAY
Like last year we
are making this into a weekend event. Dutch Treat has reserved several rooms
(for a discounted group rate!) at the immediately adjacent Carriage Ridge
Resort on Saturday, February 27th. There are also discounted rooms at
Horsesoe Resort itself.
This means one can
go Night Skiing on Saturday, or spend a great evening around the fireplace
with your fellow Dutch Treat friends.
NEW: we have chosen
these dates in part because of the beautifull Moonlight ski: a cross country
adventure by moon- and torch light, concluded with glühwein. This is on
Saturday evening, from 6pm.
