Welcome to the Canadian Slovenian Cultural Society web site!Since its inception, this web site has been our community’s window to the world. Not only do our local members keep an eye on our web site for community developments, but the outside world gets to learn about Slovenians here in Winnipeg, and see what we are all about. This web site goes a long way to supporting our primary goal of promoting and preserving the Slovenian culture in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. How we promote our culture in Winnipeg is through our various programs and events that we hold throughout the year. Folklorama 2010 – Folklorama is truly one of the most exciting weeks where we showcase our culture through music, dance, food, entertainment and our specialty drinks. A very important part of Folklorama is our cultural dance groups – Zvoncek, Rozmarin and Triglav Dance Ensemble; our men’s singers Zvon. As well our mystical creature was once again a hit at our Pavilion “The Kurent” - appears only during festivals as we know here in Canada – “Marti Gras”. You can see and read the entire highlight’s from this year’s festival on this site. In 2009, our Slovenian Radio Program celebrated its 8th Anniversary. Our program is a great way for us to preserve and enjoy our culture. Presented in both English and Slovenian, the program also keeps listeners informed of news from our community and around Slovenia. As always, your special dedications are a highlight of each show. Tune in every Sunday at 5:15 PM on radio station CKJS 810 AM. You can also listen to selected archived programs over the internet, at the Radio Archive page! Slovenska Šola Lipa our Slovenian Language School provides the opportunity to learn the Slovenian Language with the assistance of our three teachers; Hilda Terry, Kristina Majowski and Marko Simonic. We provide three classes; children, senior children and adults. The classes not only teach the language but also the traditions and culture of Slovenes. For more information about our School, please email info@canadianslovenian.mb.ca. November 2009, at our Annual General Meeting, we presented the Founding Father’s Bursary to Sabrina Simonic and Matthew Stubler - Congratulations. In 2010, we will continue to have our normal schedule of events, such as our picnics and Folklorama. Again, we will provide some new events throughout the year so stay tuned on Radio CKJS 810 every Sunday at 5:15PM and watch our Website and calendar of events. Thank you for visiting our web site!
