Holland House Canada

Holland House Canada was founded in 1979 as the Canadian Netherlands Business and Professional Association (CNBPA) and in 2023 rebranded to Holland House. It is the largest Dutch professional and business association in Canada, connecting more than 200 members and 100 business professionals and influencers throughout Canada.

Holland House Canada fuels the economic, social and cultural vitality of the entire Dutch/Canadian business community by fostering collaborations among business, government, thought leaders, and community builders.

A Holland House Canada membership offers the opportunity to be part of a network of our Canada’s most influential business leaders, who are working together to help shape the future of the Dutch-Canadian Business Community. Join us to make a real difference for you, and your business.

The Association is funded by its members’ subscription fees and through income generated from a number of services and events it provides. It is run by volunteers and with enthusiasm for Dutch culture.
