Several CNS members, including our President, Trygve Ringereide, Secretary (and Trygve’s wife) Marian McLennan, and Councillor Vibeke Reid (pictured above with Marian on the left and Vibeke on the right) enjoyed a lovely reception at the residence of Her Excellency Hanne Fugl Eskjær, Ambassador of Denmark to Canada. It was a triple occasion, marking Denmark’s Constitution Day as well as the birthday of HM King Frederik and a farewell to the Ambassador, who will soon complete her five year appointment. She joked that she wished it had been for ten years instead! Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Jolie, thanked her for her fine work as Denmark’s representative in Canada. Carolyn Bennett, who has named as Canada’s next ambassador to Denmark, was also in attendance.
A large crowd was treated to wonderful hors d'oeuvres and wine. Other CNS members in attendance included Marianne and David Bournes, Ernst Jacobsen, Kenn Harper, Rolf Christensen, and Björn Johansson.
