KIM ( KIWIS
IN MONTREAL ) Founded by Sally
and Chico Wallis in 1979, with the purpose of bringing together New
Zealanders in the Montreal, QC. Canada, area. Sally originally from
Christchurch was homesick and wanted to meet other New
Zealanders. They have organized many activities, in these past few
years, where the members of the group and their families could enjoy some
of the traditions from home. Usually on the first week-end of August we
have had the opportunity to enjoy a Hangi at the Long Sault Parkway, west
of Cornwall in Ontario. As a rule the Hangis
have been officiated by Ted Rudolph who
has applied his long experience in organizing such events according to
true Maori tradition. During these gatherings the New Zealand flag
was always proudly displayed thanks to the Wallis family members. On
some occasions the Maori concert party performed traditional Maori
dances.
Other events have been supper gatherings mainly at Fritz Farm in Baie d'Urfe, on the occasion of Waitangi Day, and these have been held on the first Saturday of February. The national Anthem was sung at the start of every such evening.
