There even is a wine museum and everything else one could learn about wine, including how to chose fine wine and how to cook with wine.

The National Ethnic Press Council held an all day conference with members of the media and the government. The German Canadian publications were represented with the publishers of the Neuschottlaendische Bote, German Business and Trade Publication, Das Echo and Echo Germanica.
Many interesting problems came up and some of them resolutions were formed for. After this meeting the ethnic press is no doubt somewhat more cohesive than it was before. Amazing was the cooperation of the government. The Ministry for Heritage is fully engaged in the dialogue and supportive of the aims of the National Ethnic Press Council.
