The embassy of Germany's federal republic in Canada is situated on Waverly Street in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Germans holidaying or living in Ottawa can receive the Embassy's newsletter which keeps them informed of German-Canadian events in the area.
The German Embassy in Ottawa provides information and advice to Germans living or staying in the area, it also provides seasonal news and compares the seasonal traditions in Canada to those in the different regions of Germany. For example in Germany the celebration of Harvest Festival with beer festivals and foods from the different regions is equated to Canada's Thanksgiving celebrations.
Readers of the German Embassy newsletter can keep themselves informed regarding the presentation of German music and other events to members of the public. It is also there to provide advice regarding passports, work permits and passages back home to Germany. Here German people can catch up on the news at home and political and domestic issues.
The German Embassy also publishes news and items that might be helpful to native Canadians wishing to know more about Germany and its people. To this end the embassy provides a helpful booklet aimed at those Canadian students wishing to study abroad and gives a comprehensive account of the German University system. It helps young Canadians wishing to work abroad and gain an understanding of other nations through its youth mobility program. The German embassy in Ottawa appears to be much more in step with the local community than many people might think; especially in its provision of items that would be of interest to those people who were not German.
