SRETAN VAM DAN HRVATSKE DRŽAVNOSTI

IMG_2117

Poštovani,

U povodu Dana hrvatske državnosti, koji obilježavamo 30. svibnja 2024. godine, želimo vam iskrenu čestitku i izraziti ponos na bogatu povijest, kulturu i tradiciju naše domovine. Ovaj dan podsjeća nas na važnost očuvanja nacionalnog identiteta, slobode i suvereniteta Hrvatske, te na sve one koji su se borili za ostvarenje i očuvanje hrvatske državnosti.

Hrvatska državnost temelji se na tisućljetnoj tradiciji, od prvih srednjovjekovnih hrvatskih kneževina i kraljevstava do modernog, suverenog i demokratskog društva. Danas, kao članica Europske unije i NATO saveza, Hrvatska je primjer uspješne tranzicije i integracije u europske i svjetske strukture.

Ovaj dan je prilika da se prisjetimo vrijednosti koje nas povezuju: ljubavi prema domovini, poštovanja prema različitostima i zajedničkog rada na izgradnji bolje budućnosti za sve građane. Neka nam ovaj blagdan bude podsjetnik na važnost jedinstva, solidarnosti i zajedništva u svim izazovima s kojima se suočavamo.

Želimo vam da proslavite ovaj dan u miru, sretno i ponosno, okruženi obitelji, prijateljima i dragim osobama. Neka hrvatska zastava vijori kao simbol naše slobode, hrabrosti i nade u bolje sutra.

S ponosom i poštovanjem, 

Ivan Curman

Kanadsko Hrvatski Kongres

Sretan Dan hrvatske državnosti 2024!

Živjela Hrvatska!

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

Re: Independence Day of the Republic of Croatia – May 30th

      Request for raising the Flag of the Republic of Croatia

Dear Mr. Sim,

We sincerely ask the City of Vancouver to fly the official Flag of the Republic of Croatia for a one week from Friday, May 26th, 2023, to Saturday, June 3rd2023. Since the City of Vancouver is home to a large and growing number of Canadians of Croatian heritage, we would welcome this sign of good will towards us and our former homeland.

On behalf of the Canadian-Croatian Congress we would like to express our sincere appreciation in allowing the Flag of the Republic of Croatia to be raised in the past years from the City of Vancouver on this very special occasion “Croatia Day – May 30th“.

We thank you for your consideration of this matter and hope to hear from you as soon as possible in this regard.

Sincerely yours,

Ivan Curman, president
