Westcoast German News sagt Willkommen! Grüezi! Servus! Grüß Gott! Hallo!
New!

Greetings from Westcoast German News and Germans in Vancouver
Hi, this is Elke Porter with Westcoast German News! This year, I am the secretary of the German Canadian Business Association, a member of the Vancouver Alpen Club (under construction until 2025) author of “75 German-Speaking Influential People in Western Canada” working on Book #2 and also German media, public relations, promotions and publicity here in Vancouver. Need someone to record the story of your event? Invite me!
My blog has focused on Austrian, German & Swiss people, places & products since 2007. What started as a newsletter, evolved to a magazine, changed to a digital platform in 2019 and is currently trying to channel the defunct Pazifische Rundschau, the Kanada Kourier & the Deutsche Presse.
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr.
