The
GERMAN-CANADIAN BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
was
established in 1967. Members, both
men and women, are German-Canadian business and professional
people. The purpose of the Association is the cultivation
of friendship and cooperation among us. We are also
involved in community projects, i.e. Christkindl Market,
German Pioneers Day, Oktoberfest and the co-operation
of German-Canadian clubs.
Although
the Association is officially bilingual and either German
or English is the accepted mode of communication, the
ability to understand spoken German is an asset, but
no longer a prerequisite for new members. To our monthly
meetings we invite well-known representatives of government,
business and other areas of mutual interest to give
lectures on various topics. On occasion, one of our
own members will speak on his or her area of expertise.
These
lectures give the members valuable insights into the
fabric of Canadian society.
In
1974 the German Language Contest was initiated.
Each
year in May, students of the German Language in the
Region of Waterloo are invited to participate in this
competition. Also, high school students who scored highest
in their class in first and second-year German receive
awards. Trophies, certificates and valuable cash awards
are presented to the winning students at the Wilfrid
L. Bitzer Event celebrated in October with an attendance
of over 300 guests.
As
of 1999, university students at the top of their class
in German at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier
University, have been given substantial cash prizes. Generous
sponsors, companies and individuals, make this event possible.
The Association in conjunction with the cities of Kitchener
and Waterloo participates in activities that help preserve
the German heritage. |
