Antoine Hirsch, Fellow Rotarian, Addresses Club Members

Antoine Hirsch, fellow Rotarian, addressed club members today about the challenges and achievements of the Canadian Institute of the dig site of Tel er-Rub'a (Mendes) in Egypt. Antoine is an Egypotologist and a Director of the Canadian Institute in Egypt. 

 

The Institute's raison d'etre includes facilitating and creating long-lasting relationships between post-secondary students from both countries, in order to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the culture of Canada in Egypt - and of Egypt in Canada. The Canadian Institute in Egypt is recognized by protocols signed in September 1982 by the Canadian and Egyptian governments. The Institute promotes study and research in the educational, scientific, cultural, technical and archeological and historical fields.
