Entertainment: Edelweiss dancers and Rika Ruebsaat, singer.

Rika Ruebsaat is a singer, historian and author who was born in Germany and grew up in British Columbia. She has spent most of her singing life performing Canadian and BC songs and connecting them to the lives and history of Canadians. She and her husband, Jon Bartlett, have produced several CDs of Canadian songs. They have also written books about BC history and Rika has written a book about people’s summer camp experiences.

Rika grew up in a German-speaking singing family and thus has a rich repertoire of songs in German, which she will perform with sing-alongs from the audience. 

Rika is writing a book about the experiences of German immigrants to Canada. In order to do so she would like to interview German immigrants or the children and grandchildren. "I believe the experience of German immigrants is unique and I think that many people would be interested in reading about it." If any of our Members  would like to share the story of their journey this is your opportunity to connect with Rika
