Rheingold Club & Addresses for German/Canadians
Welcome to the Rheingold Club!
We are a German Canadian Club with approximately 150 members. The
purpose of our club is to foster the German language, music, folk-
dance, songs, literature, customs and traditions. We are an active
club with various programs:
The German "Wilhelm Busch School" is for children and adults alike,
to learn or upkeep the German language.
A Choir - " The Rheingold Saenger", with its 20 golden throats has captured
various awards.
Our pokerclub can pride itself to belong to the best of British
Columbia.
Our women's group with their busy hands is very popular with Prince
George citizens for their beautiful crafts at their Easter
and Christmas Bazaars. Last but not least, we have active Soccer
and Handball Leagues with children to adult members.
On June 4 - 6, 1998 the Choir celebrated their 21st aniversary with
a North American/German Songfest. 600 singers from the States and
British Columbia attended, which made it a spectacular
event to remember for our community.

Schlick will oversee the entire province north of the 53rd parallel, and his duties will encompass everything from helping with passport and visa applications to promoting trade and partnership between Germany and our region. In addition, the office can offer translation services and can assist with German tourists. His office hours are noon to 3:00pm every Friday, and he can be reached at 964-4675 at other times. |
