Virtual citizenship ceremonies coming for new Canadians whose dreams were crushed by COVID-19

Zvika Rimalt is a current CAP member living in Vancouver, British Columbia. He moved to Canada from London, U.K. in May 2010 for what was initially a short term work transfer, but once in Vancouver he realized he liked the city too much to leave. During the summer of 2016, Zvika finally became Canadian citizen. Although he obtained his CAP membership shortly after, he was travelling for work and only had a chance to start taking advantage of the card in January. Since then, he’s been using his CAP membership in Vancouver and Toronto. While in Toronto, he wandered the halls at the Art Gallery of Ontario, enjoyed some delicious tea at the Roedde House Museum and explored the unique Bata Shoe Museum. Zvika is also planning to use his exclusive VIA Rail discount to take a trip from his hometown Vancouver, BC to Toronto, ON. Zvika’s recommendations to CAP members – use your Cultural Access Pass as soon as you get it!
