De Postbode© is our highly successfull and appreciated electronic newsletter that is delivered to your e-mail inbox more or less every week. It lists anything with a touch of Dutch in an around the Ottawa Valley region.
Typically all upcoming DCA events are listed but much more is to be found:
Several very active DCA-members work at the Embassy of the Netherlands in Ottawa so you will frequently also read about Dutch topics of a more general nature or Canada wide scope, for example how to vote for upcoming elections in the Netherlands, changes in regulations, changes in obtaining a driver's license, the annual Holland Fest and other cultural events sponsored by the Embassy or even events in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal where the consulates are located make their way into the De Postbode©. Note however: the DCA nor De Postbode© are an official 'spreekbuis' of the Embassy.
