Coverage
The Slovenian Society
Burnaby British Columbia
The Vancouver Slovenian Society was founded on October 24,
1958. There are presently three hundred members from the Greater
Vancouver area and the lower mainland.
The society's hall, which was purchased in March, 1972, was
renovated and enlarged to accommodate 250 persons for concerts,
plays, and other entertainment. Because attendance at performances
has been increasing, larger facilities will soon be needed.
The society also offers its members and visitors a number of
sporting and cultural events such as hunting, bowling, chess
tournaments, and folklore performances. A vocal ensemble has
been organized as well as three bands Eurocos, which has been
entertaining for twenty years, Alpine Melody, and Adria. Due
to growing interest in gaining knowledge of the Slovenian language
and culture, the society hopes to establish a Slovenian school
in the near future.
