The Centenary

Between the years 1923 and 1929, approximately 20,000 Mennonites immigrated to Canada from the former Soviet Union / present-day Ukraine and Russia. They settled in rural and urban communities in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. These refugee migrants are often called  Russlaender.

Admission

Donations will be accepted to cover modest event costs, with additional proceeds supporting the MCC Russlaender Remembrance Fund. The fund covers three MCC projects: Indigenous Neighbours, Ukraine Ministry and Refugee Resettlement.
