WDM to Celebrate the 120th Anniversary of Immigration of Russian Doukhobors Next Summer

Jul 15, 2018 | 1:08 PM

The Western Development Museum will celebrate the 120th anniversary of the immigration of 8-thousand Russian Doukhobors to Saskatchewan next summer.

A multi-faceted display called the Living Book Project will give visitors an idea of the oral history and traditions handed down by Doukhobors from generation to generation.

A Doukhobor historian and western Canadian history specialist at the University of Saskatchewan says a special feature on display next summer will be the soundscape.

Dr. Ashleigh Androsoff says visitors will be able to experience the harmonious hymns of a Doukhobor prayer service.

The memorandum of understanding signed with Spirit Wrestler Productions also calls for an exhibit and clips from the 2016 documentary filmed for this project.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
