The German-Canadian Friendship Award attributed to Roswitha Haage
On May 11th 2021, Mrs. Roswitha Haage of Brossard, was distinguished and honoured with the German-Canadian Friendship Award.
The Consul General of Germany in Montreal, Mrs. Dr. Misera-Lang, presented the award to Mrs. Roswitha Haage in person at the consulate for her long-standing work and commitment both as principal of the South Shore German Language School and her role as president of the four German schools of Quebec. Germany’s Ambassador, Mrs. Sparwasser - virtually from Ottawa – also paid tribute to all Mrs. Haage has accomplished to promote the German language and culture in Quebec.
Family and friends of Mrs. Haage, as well as members of the board of directors of the German schools likewise had the opportunity to participate virtually in this special event and offer congratulations on this well deserved distinction.

Welcome to the German Language Schools Quebec
About
Our Saturday schools offer German classes for students of various levels. Our classes are ideal for both beginners and students who want to improve their German skills.
Our qualified and enthusiastic teachers strive to provide their students with both excellent German language skills and with a better understanding of German culture and history.
Mission
Our task is to promote and actively support the German language and culture in the province of Quebec . Our four Saturday schools teach German as a foreign language at all levels, to all age groups, integrating German culture, tradition and geography as well. Interested?

The DSQ structure is defined in Article II of the new statute. The pillars of this non-profit organization are its members. They consist of adult pupils and/or the parents of minors registered at any of the four Saturday schools, all school personnel and those individuals who support the DSQ goals and objectives and provide an annual membership contribution. These members elect the board for a two-year term at the Annual General Assembly. The present board consists of eleven members who belong to the board of directors either by virtue of office, or were duly elected at the first annual general assembly in November 2007. The eleven board members in turn elected the president, vice-president and treasurer. The vote to appoint Mrs. Renate Sutherland as external auditor was unanimous.
The DSQ functions thanks to the devotion of its active members who support the schools financially, or volunteer to participate on.
The DSQ (German Language Schools of Quebec ) was founded in 2006 after the dissolution of the former TCA association (Trans-Canadian Association of German-Canadians) in 2005. The creation of this non-profit organization and its new name brought new energy to the organization which rests on a more than 50 year old tradition of promoting German culture in Quebec.
In the transitional year 2006 three DSQ founding members worked together with the four Quebec Saturday school principals and with the support of the German Eastern Canada consultant. They formulated the statute of the new organization. This statute was ratified by the present board members at the first Annual General Assembly held in November 2007. The new Board of directors was elected at that same meeting for a two-year term.
For over 50 years, our classes have been ideal for both beginners and students who want to improve their German skills.
