THE DANISH CANADIAN CLUB SHAREHOLDERS’ HISTORIC VOTE
This week shareholders of the Danish Canadian Club (DCC) met to vote on the most important change for the Club in over 60 years – the last being the purchase of the building on 11th Avenue.
“This is a significant milestone in the history of our organization. We are looking for ways to create a future for the Club,” said Wes Meyer, Vice President of the DCC to a packed hall Wednesday evening.
In an almost unanimous vote, over 100 shareholders voted in favour of the resolution to relocate the Mermaid Inn after the current building closes May 31, 2025; there were eight votes against.
The new location will be the dining room in the Austrian Canadian Cultural Centre (ACCC) at 3112–11 Street NE, Calgary. At the Austrian Centre there will be a DCC sign and a Danish flag outside the building, Mermaid Inn signage over the door to the dining room, and the room will be decorated with furniture and décor from the current Inn. There will be Danish food items added to the menu and opportunities to host Danish events in the building throughout the year.
The big change will be that the DCC will no longer in the business of running a restaurant. All restaurant business will be run through the ACCC. The current agreement with the ACCC is for one year, with regular reviews between both groups throughout the year to ensure it is meeting everyone’s needs.“
There are many events planned to celebrate the Danish Club, including final events at our current location and special events after we have moved into our new home,” said Meyer.
