Pancake Breakfast with the Canadian Ambassador
donated by Embassy of Canada
Canada produces 85 percent of the world’s maple syrup. With forests brimming with majestic red, black and sugar maples, the country has just the right mix of cold spring nights and warm daytime temperatures to produce an abundance of the clear-coloured sap used to make maple syrup.
Maple syrup has long been part of Canada’s cultural fabric. The country’s indigenous peoples taught the early European settlers how to harvest sap and boil it to make maple syrup. Today, Canadian maple syrup is exported to approximately 50 countries.
You and a friend will be invited to join H.E. Kevin Rex, the Ambassador of Canada, for a home cooked breakfast at the Ambassador’s residence in the heart of RIGA.
The meal will include homemade pancakes and waffles featuring real Canadian maple syrup! Guests will also leave with a special bottle of syrup as a souvenir.
Please coordinate the date and time for your breakfast with the Embassy of Canada after January 4th, 2021. Good luck!
Brokastu pankūkas kopā ar Kanādas vēstnieku
ziedojusi Kanādas vēstniecība.
85 % no visas pasaules kļavu sīrupa tiek ražoti Kanādā. Kanādas kļavu mežos aug gan sarkanās, gan melnās, gan cukura kļavas. Klimatiskie apstākļi – aukstās pavasara naktis un siltās dienas – ir lieliski piemēroti kļavu sulas, kas ir kļavu sīrupa pamatā, ieguvei.
Kļavu sīrups ir ilgu laiku bijis Kanādas kultūras sastāvdaļa.
Valsts pamatiedzīvotāji agrīnajiem Eiropas kolonistiem iemācīja ievākt sulu un vārīt to, lai pagatavotu kļavu sīrupu. Mūsdienās Kanādas kļavu sīrups tiek eksportēts uz aptuveni 50 valstīm.
Jūs esat uzaicināti pievienoties Kanādas vēstnieka Kevina Reksa (Kevin Rex) mājās gatavotajām brokastīm vēstnieka rezidencē Rīgas centrā.
Maltītes laikā varēsiet baudīt mājās gatavotas pankūkas un vafeles ar īstu Kanādas kļavu sīrupu! Dosieties prom arī ar īpašu sīrupa pudeli kā suvenīru.
Lūdzu, saskaņojiet brokastu datumu un laiku ar Kanādas vēstniecību pēc 2021. gada 4. janvāra. Vēlam veiksmi!
