Ačkups
http://www.ackups.com/
Ačkups, a folk dancing group in Montreal, has recently had a new burst of energy after a period of rest from this popular Latvian social activity, which is also a great way of keeping fit. The site is brief and to the point. You will learn who is currently a member of this polka-jumping community, when and where rehearsals are scheduled and even a link to the Latvian folk dance group Daugaviņa in Toronto.

Montreālas latviešu Trīsvienības ev.-lut. draudze
http://www.draudze.org/
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)
Tērvete
http://www.tervete.org/
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)
