THE DANISH CANADIAN CLUB

Message from the President

February 2026

 

We are now eight months plus into the one year trial period in our new location at the Austrian Cultural Center. By all measures the co-existence of the Austrian and the Danish Canadian Clubs in the same building has been a success.

 

Going forward we are going to see signage as well as flags on the building to show that both Clubs are housed in the same building.

 

We have shared a few functions and the Danish Club members have been made to feel very welcomed by the Austrian Club members.

 

The menu changes, with the addition of traditional Danish style meals, are a very welcomed feature and the new kitchen staff ensures a continuation of superior food quality being served at all times of the day.  The addition of a Danish beer and Akvavit is also very much appreciated although the Austrian Stiegl beer has become a favourite of many Danish Club members.

 

We appreciate the support of the members, both in purchasing memberships and attending for meals and socializing. That was the whole reason for making this happen, enhancing the ethnic cultures.

 

Please be aware that both Clubs are keeping their own unique identities and there are no plans to change that. Each Club will have their own structure as before but work together where practical.

 

In looking back it would appear we did the right thing by selling the downtown property. The building was deteriorating fast and the location is no longer a desirable place for people to be walking to and from their vehicles at any time of the day.

 

Private functions of any size can be booked with a complete customized menu so please take advantage of that when the occasion arises.

 

Per Andersen

President
