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.

2. COMING UP: CHEERING FOR THE DUTCH OLYMPIANS (from Feb. 13th)

 

Remember those fun Soccer Parties? In two weeks time we can cheer together once again for the Dutch Olympians in Vancouver. The Dutch have many medal chances, especially in Speed Skating.

This week we will inform you about gezellige cheering sessions on Saturday, Feb.13th (Sven Kramer is the main favourite in the 5000 metres!), and Sunday Feb.14th – with many other dates in the works if there is interest among members!

 

The first two dates are now confirmed:

Saturday, February 13th, 3pm: Speedskating, 5000 m Men (Sven Kramer, among others)

Sunday, February 14th, 4pm: Speedskating, 5000 m Women

 

More dates to follow if there is enough interest (so let us know at info@dutchtreat.ca that you’ll be joining us!)

 

 

3. COMING UP: WINTER SPORTS (Sun. Feb. 28th – with optional overnight 27th)

 

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.
