Toronto CFF managed to attract attention to the Honorary Consuls issue
An initiative by the Toronto CFF about the quality and functions of Finnish Honorary Consuls has triggered a resolution by the Expatriate Parliament (USP), in its plenary in Helsinki on Oct 25-27. The resolution underlines knowledge of Finland and Finnish affairs, as qualifications of a would-be Honorary Consul. Drafted originally by Bill Holt, the resolution proves that grass-roots action by expatriate Finns can lead to results, even at the Finnish end. - The Ministry has, of course, found a great way of augmenting the Finnish diplomatic presence in Toronto, through the appointment of Laura McSwiggan as an Honorary Vice Consul. -Many Honorary Consuls have been great successes though. I should single out Judy Romanchuk in Calgary (chosen by, I think, Ossi Sunell in the early 80s). Romanchuk has shown well-focussed interest in Finland and has found time to participate in events from high-end business meetings to tango evenings by Eino Grön.

Mistä oikein löydän ruisjauhoja Quebec Citystä? Olen käynyt jo ties kuinka monessa putiikissa ja marketissa enkä ole nähnyt niitä myytävän. Tietysti ruisleipäkin kelpaisi ensisijaisesti, mutta sen…Continue
