Description

Did you know:

* one of the very first Hungarian settlements in Canada was in Saskatchewan?
* the town of Esterhazy is named after a Hungarian aristocrat – Count Esterhazy?
* the Hungarian Ambassador to Canada is an economist and graduate of Corvinus University in Budapest?

Join us for an exclusive dinner with Hungary’s Ambassador to Canada, His Excellency Bálint David Ódor and Deputy Head of Mission László Sinka, in their visit to Saskatoon in early March.

While there will not be a public presentation afterwards, dinnertime provides an opportunity for sharing of information and views one would not otherwise hear.

Consider taking this in – you’ll be very happy that you did.
