Review of CanCham’s Focus on Canada and the Canadian Embassy with H.E. Kevin Rex 24.05.2022

CanCham’s Focus on Canada and the Canadian Embassy with H.E. Kevin Rex, Canadian Government Ambassador to Latvia took place on Monday, May 16th at 18.30 at the Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel.

Ambassador Rex will be completing his term in Latvia where he has presided over the Canadian NATO deployment and extensive expansion of the Canadian Embassy in Latvia and the Baltics, and, as such, this may be the last time he participates in a CanCham event though exactly when he will be leaving Latvia is not yet known, so this was not “good-bye”, but a chance to spend a pleasant evening reminiscing and reconnecting to people who have not been seen in person for quite a while.

Una Brūna, the President of the CanCham, introduced Ambassador Rex after reminding our guests of CanCham’s DMC system for trade facilitation, CanCham’s Visit Latvia program designed to attract Canadians to Latvia for medical, sports, business development and trade tourism, and the upcoming “Road to Canada” seminar on May 26th. Details can be found at https://cancham.lv/.

Ambassador Rex then provided an entertaining and enlightening review of his tenure in Latvia which saw the Canadian Embassy in the Baltics become the second largest Canadian embassy in Europe.

We thank the chef and staff of the Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel’s Restaurant C.U.T. for providing an enjoyable dinner in a comfortable atmosphere. Clearly, they have been able to maintain their skills throughout the brutal covid winter.

Review of CanCham’s April Show & Tell 06.05.2022

CanCham’s April Show & Tell event was the first of its kind. Besides finally being able to get together again after a long COVID-19 winter, we had a chance to tell each other about what we’re doing, provide updates on what’s new, and just plain talk to one another in person. The format was an informal presentation style which we would like to build on.

As we re-define the CanCham, knowing about each other isn’t enough. We need to find ways we can help each other in developing business opportunities. This will be the objective of our business development initiatives. Feel free to provide suggestions that can aid the cause.

In the following days, the presentations provided by our members will be found in this space. We invite you to visit us often to see what our members are doing. We also remind members that they may post their advertisements and news in this forum. All you have to do is download your add in jpg format, and add information in the description on the right.

Our next in-person event is CanCham’s “Focus on Canada and the Canadian Embassy” with H.E. Kevin Rex, Canadian Government Ambassador to Latvia on Monday, May 16th at 18.30 at the Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel. We’d like to see you there.

Let’s stay in touch.

All the best,

Ed Kalvins,

Director, Business Development
