Leuk om hier een stukje Nederlands historie te vinden. Mooie jaren 70 architectuur 😃 The largest carillon in Canada houses 62 bells donated by British Columbians of Dutch origin in celebration of the 1967 Canadian Confederation Centennial and in recognition of Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands during World War II.
