Dana 15. siječnja 1992. godine, Hrvatska je službeno priznata od strane Europske zajednice (danas Europska unija), što je bio ključan korak u međunarodnom priznanju hrvatske državnosti. Ovaj dan ima veliko povijesno značenje za Hrvatsku, jer je označio početak njezinog punopravnog članstva u međunarodnoj zajednici.
Komemoracija za pok.Franju Tuđmana, prvog Hrvatskog Predsednika
Komemoracija za prvog hrvatskog predsjednika Franju Tuđmana održat će se 8. prosinca 2024. u Hrvatskoj katoličkoj župi Srca Marijina u Vancouveru. Ovaj događaj će biti posvećen sjećanju na Tuđmanov doprinos hrvatskoj državnosti i njegovu ulogu u stvaranju suvremene Hrvatske. Kanadsko hrvatski Kongres, koji okuplja hrvatsku zajednicu u Vancouveru, tradicionalno organizira komemoracije i druge značajne događaje kako bi odala počast važnim ličnostima i trenucima iz hrvatske povijesti.
Ako planirate sudjelovati ili želite više informacija o događaju, preporučuje se da kontaktirate Hrvatsku Demokratsku Zajednicu direktno kako biste dobili detalje o programu, vremenu održavanja i eventualnim posebnim aktivnostima vezanim uz komemoraciju.

Re: Independence Day of the Republic of Croatia – May 30th
Request for Raising the Flag of the Republic of Croatia
Dear Mayor Sim,
On behalf of the Canadian-Croatian Congress, I am writing to kindly request that the City of Vancouver fly the official Flag of the Republic of Croatia in recognition of Croatia’s Independence Day, celebrated on May 30th. We respectfully ask that the flag be raised for one week, from Friday, May 26th, 2024, to Saturday, June 3rd, 2024.
The Croatian community in Vancouver takes great pride in its heritage and contributions to the cultural diversity of our city. Raising the Croatian flag during this period would be a meaningful gesture of recognition and solidarity with the Croatian-Canadian community as we celebrate this important national day.
Thank you for considering this request. We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to your positive response. Please feel free to contact me at crocc@telus.net if you require any additional details.
Yours sincerely,
Ivan Curman
President
Canadian-Croatian Congress
Proslavimo zajedno priznavanje Hrvatske 15. siječanj 2024. godine

Dear Team Canada Athletes
Dear Team Canada athletes, we have been advised by the government of Croatia of a slight change in dates for the hosting of the Croatian World Games.
Please be advised that the Games will officially conclude with a closing ceremony on Friday, July 28, 2023. Not on Saturday, July 29th as previously planned.
However, the cross-country run will still be held on Saturday, July 29th at 10:00am. So yes, they will officially end the Games and then host one more competition on Saturday morning….
This means that everyone will have breakfast on campus on Saturday morning, then those that wish to complete the Cross-Country run/walk may do so at 10:00am and then be prepared to move out of campus. For anyone not participating in Cross Country you may of course leave right after breakfast. If you need to, you may stay on campus until 6:00pm.
This is a change to the original schedule that saw us staying on campus until Sunday, July 30th.
This change in scheduling means that departure from campus takes place on Saturday, July 29th.
Should you wish to stay on campus one or more nights, you may do so by booking directly with the Studentski Dom at a cost of $19.50 euro (includes breakfast) plus city tax of $1.59 euro and insurance cost of $0.13 euro for a total of $22.22 euro (appx. $32 CAD) per person. A stay with three full meals comes in at a cost of $37.50 euro (appx. $56.25 CAD). For anyone needing extended accommodation, you may book this directly with the Studentski Dom on site when we arrive.
As this impacts your onward travel, we wanted to advise you of the change in scheduling immediately. Otherwise, our scheduling remains the same. A final event itinerary will be provided on June 17th.
As always, if you have any questions, please let us know.
Best,
Caroline Spivak
