This will be a casual event to connect after all the pandemic restrictions, to learn more about Imanta and to take the opportunity to meet and make new friends! Everyone is welcome! Doors will open at 5:30 pm with dinner and short program to start at 6:00pm. This will be a potluck style dinner so please bring something delicious to share. There will also be a cash bar.

We are pleased to confirm that our Ligo will be held on Saturday, June 25th, 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Once again we will be at Partridge Hill Community Park – 22002 Township Road 542, Fort Saskatchewan. There will be activities for both adults and children such as wreath making (we will have some flowers but more is always appreciated), Latvian Jāņu cheese making, games, singing and a raffle. There will also be a Pīrāgu contest, (so please bring your best if you would like to participate). Our top 3 chef’s will be awarded a prize. Imanta will provide dinner for all. Please reply to imantaedmonton@gmail.com if you are planning to come so that we can better plan the amount of food. We have access to the hall in the event of inclement weather. Bring your own camping chairs and BYOB if you so wish. Appetizers, desserts or snacks are potluck style. There will be no overnight camping allowed. An admission fee of $10.00 will be charged per person, children under 10 are free.

After a long time away we are finally able to meet again and celebrate Summer Solstice!  Our celebration will once again be held at the Partridge Hill Community Park near Ft. Saskatchewan. There is a large outdoor area for many activities.  Imanta is busy planning and looking for extra volunteers to help make this a memorable event.  If anyone is interested in camping overnight, the site can accommodate tents or RV’s, but there are no hook-up utilities provided. Camping will only be allowed with prior approval from Imanta and we will only approve overnight camping if we have a volunteer who can step forward and offer their services for overnight management of the area.

Please contact us by email (imantaedmonton@gmail.com) if you would like to help us out or if you would like more information. We are looking forward to meeting our old friends and always open to meeting new friends and supporters of Imanta! More details will follow at a later date.

OK lets see if we can make it happen here in Edmonton!  Saturday, May 5th 1 p.m at the Fort Edmonton Foot Bridge.

May 4 is the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia Day, which is the perfect time to gather families, friends, neighbours and communities around a white-clad table, cherishing togetherness and the gift of living in a free country of our own.

May 5, this year on Saturday, is the perfect time to continue celebrating Latvia and its hundred years with a healthy and fun sports activity! “Jog Latvia in the World” is the activity that invites you to create a jogging, walking or biking route resembling the geographic shape of Latvia around your town or city with the help of your favourite sports app. The distance does not matter – it is all about the contour and the fun! You can share your route in the social networks with your friends, family members and neighbours, using the hashtag #izskrienLatviju, and invite them to participate also. Let’s all jog Latvia in the world together!
