na današnji dan prije 25 godina, uz prisustvo 238 članova održana je Osnivačka skupština torontskog ogranka udruge bivših studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Almae Matris Alumni of University of Zagreb, na University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus. Niže su dokumenti vezani za Osnivačku skupštinu. Sljedećih godina naša udruga, koja je u međuvremenu promijenila naziv u AMCA Almae Matris Croaticae Alumni – Toronto (ili samo AMCA Toronto), prihvatila je bivše studente svih sveučilišta u Republici Hrvatskoj.
AMCA Toronto je znatno doprinijela promidžbi istine i hrvatskog gledišta za vrijeme agresije na Republiku Hrvatsku devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. U tom periodu udruga je pomagala financiranje hrvatskih studija na U of T, organizirala razna predavanja te izdavala časopis Gaudeamus. Nakon pobjede u Domovinskom ratu, a posebno nakon uspostave kontrole nad cjelokupnim teritorijem Republike Hrvatske, fokus djelovanja naše udruge se postupno počeo micati ka izvornim ciljevima definiranim Statutom udruge, poput promocije hrvatske kulture, hrvatskog jezika i hrvatskih talenata, održavanja veza s hrvatskim sveučilištima i drugim AMCA-ma te podržavanja hrvatske zajednice južnog Ontarija. AMCA Toronto je danas svakako jedna od najaktivnijih organizacija takve vrste te, po mišljenjima mnogih centar intelektualnog života Hrvata južnog Ontarija.
Službena proslava Srebrne obljetnice će se održati na 14-toj godišnjoj AMCA Toronto Gala večeri u petak 23. listopada, 2015. u Boulevard Club-u.
Našoj AMCA Toronto želimo sretnu 25-tu obljetnicu sa željom da nam živi još dugo i uspješno.
Dear colleagues and friends,
Twenty-five years ago today, attended by 238 members, the Founding Assembly of the Toronto Chapter of Almae Matris Alumni of University of Zagreb Association took place at the University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus. Please see the founding documents below. In the years to come our association, today known as AMCA Almae Matris Croaticae Alumni – Toronto (or AMCA Toronto), would include alumni from all the Universities of the Republic of Croatia.
AMCA Toronto has contributed greatly to the promotion of the Croatian point of view during the aggression on the Republic of Croatia in the 1990’s. During that period the association helped finance Croatian studies at U of T, organized lectures and issued bulletins.
After the victory in the Homeland War, and particularly after the establishment of full control over its territory by the Republic of Croatia, our focus gradually shifted back to the original purpose and goals of our association. Today AMCA Toronto promotes Croatian culture and language, Croatian talents, maintains ties with the Universities in Croatia and other AMCA organizations, and supports the Croatian community of southern Ontario. Thanks to our efforts, AMCA Toronto is now widely recognized as a strong, focused and successful organization, the centre of intellectual life of the Croatian community and one of the most active organizations of its kind.
Formal celebration of the Silver Anniversary will take place during the 14th Annual AMCA Toronto Gala on Friday October 23, 2015 at The Boulevard Club.
Happy 25th anniversary and best wishes for a long and successful life to our AMCA Toronto.
