Trisha Cornforth,was German news reporter for "Der Kanadier"
newspaper as well as for CFN/RFC radio and television,
from the end of 1978 to the end of May 1994

The original "Der Kanadier " was the weekly newspaper for
the Canadian Forces stationed in Europe. It was published in Lahr
in the Black Forest, Germany, from 1 July 1970 until 25 May 1994, i.e. until just before Canadian Forces Base Lahr closed down
in mid-August 1994.

Trisha has stayed in Lahr as a self-employed English teacher
(VHS adult education classes and local companies) and as a
translator (e.g. for Burda sewing and needlework magazines).
She is president of the Lahr German-Canadian Friendship Club,
the Lahr Canada-Haus Association (founded in 1994) and the "Schwarzwald Tänzer" square dance club (founded in 1967).



Another year has flashed past!

Again I didn't have much time to write anything for "Der Kanadier" but I am recovering well from my chemotherapy and we did take some photos for "Der Kanadier" again! Therefore I have prepared a "2005 Pictorial Review" which includes the Tour de France cycle race along the B-3 in Lahr (with new traffic circle), Ettenheim's 700th anniversary,
a fire in former PMQs near Lahr train station, the Belleville Friendship Flight to Lahr, me receiving Lahr's citizenship medal, downtown demolition, chrysanthemum festival
as well as the Stork Tower nativity scene and Germany's biggest Advent calendar in Gengenbach ...

Also on behalf of Gabrielle, Marie-Hélène, Yvan and Klaus,
wishing all our Der Kanadier readers a Happy Holiday Season
with good health and happiness in the New Year!
