The site briefly outlines the aims of the LNAK, informs of Latvian-Canadian events and provides news from Canada and Latvia. Also offered are a discussion forum that appears to be so new that it is still waiting for participants, archives of LNAK minutes and reports, an invitation to leave a legacy to the organisation and contact details for all those active members of the LNAK who have taken up positions in various capacities.

- Toronto Latvian Saturday School
- www.tlbss.org
- In her opening address beginning the 52nd academic year of the Toronto Latvian Saturday School, Principal Moira Campbell summed up its collaborative spirit: "Here we don't have any bank presidents or 'Madame Ambassadors.' We are all people who have one purpose. This is a place where titles and occupations are put aside and we work as one team. This is a wonderful thing, for together we have the power to accomplish anything. Maybe this is the key of knowledge!" Find out what these third-generation Latvian kids in Toronto do most Saturday mornings, who their teachers are and who was in the graduating Class of 2001. This is one of two Latvian primary schools that operate in Toronto. The other one is called Valodiņa. Interesting future additions to the site could be samples of the children's work, more school photos or even a short video clip of a school function. EN LV (Reviewed March 2002)

With everything said and done, Latvia placed 10th at this year’s International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championships. Victories against Germany and Italy as well as a goal differential advantage over Germany and Switzerland who finished with the same number of points was enough to propel Latvia from last year’s 13th place finish to 10th.

Vasks compilation of works exceptional
Though Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks has achieved success and fame with compositions for solo instruments, string quartets, orchestras, piano, among many other instruments, some of his most powerful and memorable works are his choir songs. The addition of text and language (particularly the Latvian language), in combination with the exceptional skill of the world-class Latvian Radio Choir, make his choir songs particularly haunting and emotionally affecting.
