The Bled Society
Beamsville Ontario
Drustvo Bled in Beamsville is Unit 13 of the Bled Mutual Benefit
Society as well as the head office of the association. The present
Unit 13 was formed in 1961 when the Burlington (Planica) and
Hamilton (Planina) branches united. The local office used a
variety of rented accommodations in the area for over fifteen
years. In 1967 eight acres of land were acquired in Beamsville
for society headquarters as well as for a social and recreation
centre. The centre, which includes a swimming pool, picnic and
barbecue areas, a bocce field, and children's playground, was
opened in 1976. Membership is available to all Slovenians and
the facility is operated year round. Drustvo Bled head office
was transferred from Kirkland Lake, Ontario, to Beamsville in
1978.
