Club Canada
UMaine’s student organization dedicated to Canada
CLUB CANADA!
Club Canada is a UMaine social club for anyone who loves Canada and everything Canadian! The club offers students a chance to immerse themselves in Canadian Culture. We celebrate Canadian society, politics and culture. Events we have done include curling (each year participating in the annual spring Bonspiel at the Belfast Curling Club), conduct Canadian “fun nights” with Canada-themed TV shows and movies, watched politics and hockey on CBC and and we have collaborated with the Canadian-American Center for different events on Campus. In addition we offer students first-hand experiences of Canada with semester trips to Ottawa and Montreal.
