The Hundredth anniversary of the Belgian Club

This afternoon, we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Le Club Belge. It is quite an achievement for the Belgian Club to have existed and to continue to do well for a hundred years. Congratulations to President Albert Delbaere and to club members like Susan Spelier, Jean Marie DeClercq (also Belgian Consul), Julia Van De Spiegle, Emma Shwaykosky and Pierre Saelens (also President of the Belgian Veterans Association Branch #107 of the Canadian Legion) on the anniversary. I wish you all the very best for your next 100 years.

Thank you to the Belgian Ambassador, His Excellency Daniel LeRoy and his wife for coming to Manitoba to celebrate this occasion.
