Happy New Year 2021!
Well, 2020 was a bit of a dud, the COVID-19 pandemic has put our lives on hold for the good part of a year so far. As we move into 2021, we look towards a brighter future and hopefully the return of some our regular events as the year progresses.

Our Facebook group Kia Ora Canada – Toronto continues to have a lively participation and discussion on all things New Zealand.

Join our mailing list to get details of events sent directly to your email inbox. We generally send a newsletter out once a month.

We have compiled some information on travelling between Canada and New Zealand based on first hand experiences. You may find this helpful if you are planning on travelling between the two countries.
