- The Trinity Latvian Ev.-Lutheran Church in Montréal appears to be an active and progressive one and has the right idea about informing its parishioners. The Web site offers the latest church bulletin, Draudzes ziņas, and a calendar that gives an insight into the regular activities of the congregation. The church also owns a 200-acre rural retreat, Tervete, in Argenteuil County, Québec, halfway between Montréal and Ottawa. Tērvete, among other things, is the venue for the annual children's summer camp with the same name. LV (Reviewed July 2005)

- This property in the Laurentian Mountains of Québec is no doubt the scene for many glorious childhood memories of the younger generation of North American Latvian community. Now Tērvete has its own Web site to inform anyone interested in visiting, revisiting or participating in the children's camp during the summer. Check out the calendar to see what's been planned for the coming months or why not click through some snaps made of smiling, happy campers in the past few years? FR LV (Reviewed November 2002)

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.
