This website is mainly about and for the German-speaking community located and residing in British Columbia. Many new members of the "real" (ment not "virtual") community will not know much about British Columbia and its interesting places. Additionally many readers and users of GermanBC are people living in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, which are interested in Canada; some because they want to immigrate one day and some others because they want to travel to Canada, specially British Columbia.

If some parts of your family or friends are staying in Canada and some other are staying in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, or if you are travelling around the world and you do want to stay in contact with your family and friends, then you will either spend much money for it using normal phone lines or you will need special equipment to do it using "Voice over IP" (phone calls over the internet), Skype or similiar services.

But what can you do, if you do not want to spend much money and you are not in reach of internet access or if internet access itself is very expensive?

Still many members did not complete their profile. But providing some informations about yourself within your personal profile is the best and most effective way to introduce yourself to the community and helps other people find you.

Currently we are working on finding additional partnerships and establishing new cooperations to expand and enhance our business and community services for our members.
