Today, we have been made aware of inappropriate and hateful comments made by a former Board Member. This individual is no longer affiliated with the Danish Club of Ottawa and has not been a member of the board since 2020. We condemn and repudiate these comments and the prejudice that motivates them in the strongest possible terms. Such views have no place in the Danish Club of Ottawa and are not in keeping with the values of Denmark or our adoptive home of Canada.As the Danish Club we believe strongly in honouring, respecting and celebrating all cultures from around the world, the diversity that shapes us, and the shared humanity that unites us.
