Display in Ottawa for Canada's 150th AnniversaryOttawa Welcomes the World 2017 has 79 countries participating in this event which allows each country to highlight their culture for one day. On June 23rd, was Slovenia's day. The Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia organized many Slovenian groups and organizations, including CSHS, to present Slovenian culture at the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa (sort of like our exhibition grounds).

Canada's 150th Anniversary MovieThe Canadian Slovenian Historical Society is involved in producing a video of events and contributions Canadian Slovenians have made since they have arrived in Canada. Anyone who has any vintage videos (any type of media) we would possibly like to use it once we get proper copyright from the originator.
Space Issue
We are growing rapidly and quickly running out of space. We need to find temporary space for storage until we can expand to larger premises.
PicturesWe are constantly updating the Gallery as pictures become available. When submitting pictures of our parents and grandparents from years ago, you need to provide some commentary, so we can put meaning to the pictures.
We are looking for pictures of the early days in Canada, showing the first jobs completing their contract, the early years when all the organizations where just starting, etc. |
