Our next event
Dutch-Canadian Remembrance Day Service 2024
On Saturday, May 4, 2024, members of the Dutch Canadian Community will commemorate the fallen “Dutch citizens” and the contributions of Canadian veterans and families to liberate the Netherlands from Nazi Germany’s occupation during the Second World War.
In the Netherlands, the memorial commemoration event is known as “Dodenherdenking”. The “Dutch-Canadian Remembrance Day Service” will take place at Mountain View Cemetery on May 4, 2024 at 10:15 am. The cemetery address is 5455 Fraser Street, Vancouver, BC V5W 2Z3 and located west of Fraser Street between 31st and 43rd Avenue.
Our mission is to bring together professionals and entrepreneurs of Dutch heritage or with a connection to the Netherlands, by organizing events with either a cultural, culinary or business theme, for the purpose of networking in an inspiring and relaxed environment.
Vision:
Facilitating networking among professionals with a Dutch connection.

Ideas for a new venue
One of the biggest challenges for each organization is to find affordable and easily accessible locations for their meetings and events. This past year we have been fortunate to work with the Vancouver Maritime Museum. We will continue this partnership in 2023. We included a new venue for our annual Nieuwjaarsborrel: the Ukama Gallery on Granville Island.
Should anyone have any suggestions, please reach out to us

In search of companies for apprenticeship
On a regular basis the Dutch Business Club receives requests for information from the Netherlands. These questions are very diverse but quite often they are related to temporary work- or study permits, so students from the Netherlands can come to Vancouver (and other areas) and complete their apprenticeship here.
If you are interested and have the capacity to offer an apprenticeship to a Dutch student within your organization, please reach out to us and we will connect you whenever we receive apprenticeship requests.
Meet our current board
We currently have positions available in our board and welcome you to apply if you are interested. We could use someone to help out with our membership activities and also with our social media activities. Please let us know if you would like to help us out.
