3 * Dutch Language Education / Nederlandse lessen – UPDATE October 27, 2011

The Dutch language classes, initiated by Dutch Treat, have started simultaneously in Toronto (provided by the Toronto District School Board) and Oakville (Halton District School Board).

 

1. CHILDREN (4-14y)

 

Toronto District School Board (Location: Toronto)

 

 

Saturday, September 17th was the official registration for the Dutch Language Classes for children at the Toronto District School Board. We, as co-organizers of this initiative, are happy that many children have been registered.

 

At the same time, we have heard from several people that they still want to register (their children), and that is indeed possible! We welcome all additional registrations, as these increase the possibility of splitting the group (currently in two) perhaps even further.

 

We have also received a number of questions regarding the lessons. We have created a brief overview of important things to know. Please see the sheet of Frequently Asked Questions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to send us an email.

 

So if you did not have a chance to register yet, you can still attend and register at the Saturday morning classes.

 

Classes started on September 24, 2011 at 9:00 AM

Location: Woodbine Junior Highschool (Don Mills subway station)

Address: 2900 Don Mills Rd, North York, ON M2J3B6 bit.ly/o2u0Ah

To register your child(ren) you will need:

- $20.00

- Health card of your children

- Any information about allergies

 

We wish you all a very successful and ‘gezellig’ school year.

Tot ziens op school.

Halton District School Board (Location: Oakville)

 

 

On Saturday September 17th 2011 we started our first day at the Dutch school in Oakville on Blakelock High School.

38 enthusiast kids (even more now) were divided in 2 classes. We expect that we will have a 3rd class very soon. This will give an even better divided group so that we can have even better classes for each group. Our goal is learning Dutch but in a fun way!

 

The International Language (Elementary) Program of the HDSB takes place in Oakville

Classes will be held on Saturdays, for 2.5 hours, from 9:30am – 12:00am.

4 * NEWS

No more Dual Dutch Citizenship for Dutch-Canadians???

Many members have alerted us to important protests that are being organized against Dutch plans to make major changes to Dutch citizenship laws. These changes promise to severely handicap the options for Dutch citizens to keep their (Dual) Citizenship if they apply for other nationalities (like Canadian).

As read in the Ottawa Postbode:
There is some worry about dual citizenship as the Netherlands government is proposing to change the rules on dual Dutch citizenship. Those who are nervous about it have set up an on line petition: nederlandersoverzee.petities.nl.
Usually, those who possess dual nationality now do not have to worry, but if the proposal becomes law it will be much harder to become Canadian while keeping your Dutch passport. If you are still planning to start the process, it might be worth to 1) check the rules and 2) check how long the process for becoming a Canadian is. In the end, the date that you receive citizenship counts, not the day you start the procedure. But again, it is only a proposal now.
See for more info on dual citizenship here: www.minbuza.nl/producten-en-diensten/burgerzaken/nederlandse-nationaliteit

So, the link for that petition is nederlandersoverzee.petities.nl (in Dutch)

Much more information has been posted on the website www.NederlanderBlijven.com (mostly in Dutch), with links to
- an article in the Volkskrant;
- an article in Dutchnews.nl; 
- a clip with an interview with the Martin van Denzen radio program Dutch Touch (!);
- and much, much more.

5 *Past events

(May 29, 2011:) What a fabulous day: GO GREEN – GO DUTCH – GO BIKE!
100s upon 100s of riders joined the organizers from the Dutch Consulate-General at the 5th instalment of the Go Green – Go Dutch – Go Bike event. Supported by main sponsor ING Direct, Eco-Wheels, The City of Toronto, Branding for Good, the Cyclists Union, and others, we cycled from King’s Mill Park along the Lakeshore to the Distillery District. Not only was the interesting Eco-Wheels Show on there, we had a great Dutch Market with Poffertjes, fresh (!) Stroopwafels, Dutch products from Niemeyer’s Imports, and much, much more.

It was a great success as a fundraiser as well: no less than $15,000 was raised. This will to towards the purchase of new bicycles, helmets, and locks for deserving Toronto youth. See for more general information also at www.gogreengodutchgobike.com.

Board Member Wilmar Kortleever took snapshots along the way, courtesy Dutch Treat. Feel free to check them out at flickr.com/gp/wilmar/49M7Uo.

Besides the group shot, they are in chronological order. For your convenience:

(May 5, 2011:) Flag Raising marks the first Annual Dutch Heritage Month!

What a great event today at Queen’s Park!

It was as if the weather knew that the flags, the beautiful scenery outside Queen’s Park, as well as the colour Orange come out best when basked in sunlight.

Thanks to everybody who made the Flag Raising, celebrating the first Dutch Heritage Month in Ontario, possible - chiefly of course Mrs. Witmer. Thanks also goes out to the co-sponsors of her Bill - Ms’s Van Bommel and DiNovo, as well as all others who spoke in favour of the Legislation or supported it (like Mr. Hardeman, Mr. Gerretsen, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Prue, Mr. Shurman, Mr. Marchese, Mr. Arnott, and Mr. Klees).

Mr. Horbach, the Consul-General of The Netherlands, spoke eloquent words of appreciation on the South Lawn of Queen’s Park. He was accompanied by his wife Sonja, Consul Arie Plieger, and a number of other colleagues from the Consulate (like Ms’s Empson & McLaughlin, Mr.’s Tejani & Siezenga).

In attendance were many people from the Dutch community, like Martin van Denzen (announcer Dutch Touch radio), a number of his colleagues from the Dutch Canadian Association (like Mrs. Spaans, Mrs. Van den Heuvel, Mr. Nienhuis, and Mrs. Casseres), Mrs. Henny Baljet-Groenendijk, Mrs. Frits Begeman (vice-presidents, Netherlands Luncheon Club), Mr. Brabers, and Jack VanderKooy & Evert Akkerman (DUCA Credit Union).

A very special guest was Mr. Sam Ross, who was accompanied by his son Stewart. Mr. Ross is a veteran who proudly served with the Forces that liberated The Netherlands in 1944/1945. It was an honour and privilege to meet him today. 

Representing the Board of Management of Dutch Treat, Wilmar Kortleever was honoured and delighted to be present with his wife, Glynnis Burt.

At the subsequent reception, Mr. James B. Love (Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Royal Canadian Mint) presented a recently released coin, the “Tulip and Lady Bug”, to Mrs. Witmer. The coin symbolises the enduring friendship between Canada and the Netherlands.

Dutch Treat Board Member Wilmar took a number of pictures. For your enjoyment, a number of them are uploaded to a set on the Photowebsite Flickr: flickr.com/gp/wilmar/04m005. It even includes a video clip of the Wilhelmus... :-)

Note (I): this batch has undergone first selection and first edit, but is still sizeable (80 pictures, 1 clip). This way they might be more interesting to many of the people in attendance - who may find themselves in the pictures (or more favourably in some than in others ;-).

Note (II): feel free to forward the link or this message. Be advised that even so, this set is on a ‘private’ part of Flickr, not automatically visible (yet) to people without this specific link.

Have a great day - an Happy Dutch Heritage Month!

 

(March 24, 2011:) Dutch Heritage Month!
Thursday, March 24, 2011 was a great day for the Dutch-Canadian community in Ontario. In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario today, second and third reading were combined and concluded with unanimous (!) consent for a real Bill of Law, #166, which proclaimed the month of May as annual DUTCH HERITAGE MONTH. Royal assent is expected in the coming weeks.

Dutch Treat was present at Queens Park today, represented by President Wilmar Kortleever, as was Consul Arie Plieger, to congratulate M.P.P. Elizabeth Witmer with this successful initiative. Mrs. Witmer, herself emigrated from The Netherlands at a young age, had found Maria Van Bommel (likewise) and Cheri DiNovo as co-sponsors for her Private Member Bill. Mrs. Witmer spoke eloquently about the bond between our two countries, about the Dutch appreciation for the Canadian Liberators during WWII, and about her personal experiences. It was a great and touching moment, which Mrs. Witmer thankfully got to share in the knowledge that her mother (who recently turned 90!) could witness it in front of the television at home.

A number of other Members of Parliament spoke in favour of Bill 166, some with emotion, because of their Dutch heritage (like Minister John Gerretsen from Kingston) or because family fought during the Liberation of The Netherlands in 1944/1945 (like Michael Prue from Toronto). M.P.P. Frank Klees (himself from Germany) quoted at length from the words of Evert Akkerman, a member of Dutch Treat, who last year was Treasurer of the committee that organized the celebration of 65 years since the Dutch Liberation. M.P.P. Rosario Marchese contributed a humorous moment with his impressive knowledge of Dutch soccer stars (many of who play or played in his beloved ancestral country Italy).

More information about this Bill can be found on the website of the Ontario Legislature, or read an article in the Waterloo region Record at canadianimmigrant.ca.

Hint: Wouldn’t it be nice if these politicians received congratulatory notes (and thanks) for this great proclamation? I believe among those involved in the proceedings were (in no way complete - taking notes is not allowed in the Legislature Gallery ;-): Elizabeth Witmer (Proposer of the Bill, Dutch heritage), Maria van Bommel (co-sponsor, Dutch heritage), Cheri DiNovo (co-sponsor), John Gerretsen (Dutch heritage), Ernie Hardeman (Dutch heritage), Michael Prue, Rosario Marchese, Ted Arnott, Frank Klees. If you happen to send something, provide info@dutchtreat.ca with a cc: :-)?

 

April 30, 2010: A GREAT KONINGINNEDAG / QUEEN’S DAY PARTY
More than 120 people came out to School Bakery Café for a great party in honour of everything Dutch. Almost everybody came in colourful orange, and many bitterbal was eaten. We were happy and honoured to count Consul-General Hans Horboach, his wife Sonja, and Consul Arie Plieger among the guests.

A few pictures (including the birthday girl) are here: flickr.com/gp/wilmar/90r190.

 

April, 2010: A GREAT EASTER PARTY & POTLUCK LUNCH!
We all had a great time during the firth Easter Party at the Northlea United Church. Over 80 people attended the Easter Egg Hunt, Crafts, Games, and potluck lunch. Beautiful drawings were rewarded with fun prizes. A few pictures are here: flickr.com/gp/wilmar/h3720d, and some more here: gallery.me.com/jannydebresser#100152.

 

Dec. 4, 2010: THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SINTERKLAAS PARTY!
Thanks to everybody who attended the Dutch Treat Sinterklaas party 2010 in December!

Building on the great tradition (established by Nicole, Maartje en Marleen), the current Dutch Treat Board (represented by Janny, Henriette, and Wilmar) hosted a great event at the Oakville Conference Centre. In total 200 people attended, including almost 100 kids. For a few early snapshots (including a song clip) check flickr.com/gp/wilmar/d1U340.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, we really appreciate it!
(of course we are carefully drafting a list of improvements for next year, so feel free to let us know what you liked and/or would like to improve)

THANKS to Sint, de Pieten, and the many volunteers - without you this could not have been possible!

THANKS as well to our sponsor, DUCA, for their generous contribution - and to our supporter, to John van Niekerk of Niemeyer’s Imports (check out www.dutchtproducts.ca!), for the generous supply.

We hope to see everybody at a next Dutch Treat event

The Party Piets: Janny, Henriette, and Wilmar

Dutch Treat Canada is a (free) social and cultural organization serving 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 and outside the city. We communicate in both Dutch and English.

Dutch Treat has almost 1400 members (fall 2011), plus hundreds more on Facebook (which is not always current, please refer to our e-mail membership) and reaches an estimated 3000+ Dutch-Canadians through its electronic Newsletter.

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 (typically on the last Friday of the month) and regular daytime events. We have Winter Sports Days, Easter Parties, Picnics, Billiard Evenings, a number of cultural outings and much, much more. In relevant years we try to organize ‘Soccer Parties’ to watch World or Euro Cup matches together - the World Cup Final in 2010 attracted 1000s of enthusiastic fans.

In our regular newsletters we try to keep our members informed, also about activities of other Dutch-Canadian events and activities in Toronto and the GTA. Currently, the membership is free of cost.

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!). Feel free to join our Facebook group as well, at www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48603067438, but please be advised that e-mail and website are our preferred (and more current) means of communication.
