CSHS Website
The website continues to be updated as information becomes available. The GALLERY section is very informative as it provides a brief summary and pictures of what happened in each era. We are looking for pictures of early days in Canada, such as depictions of one's first job, completing the work contract, the start of various Slovenian organizations, etc. When submitting pictures of parents and grandparents from years ago, please provide some commentary to enable better understanding and perspective.
