It was a beautiful day on June 29, 2025 when our Toronto area community and friends celebrated Slovenski Dan at the Slovenian Summer Camp (Slovensko Letovisce) in Bolton ON. Following a Mass at the outdoor chapel and a hearty lunch in the hall, we enjoyed a lively cultural program of speeches, Slovenian songs by choral ensemble, NASA PESEM, performances by MLADI GLAS and NAGELJCKI folk dance groups and a comedy skit by members of the camp. The SSC committee also operated a Raffle Draw intermittently throughout the program. The day was capped off by the beautiful music of ŠMARNOGORSKI KVINTET from Slovenia!
We had our annual cultural display inside the hall, as usual. It was well stocked and well attended. Thank you to members who helped this year. We always have fun meeting people and sharing stories. This year there was an addition to the display of Slovenian artifacts, books and Slovenia-themed sales items. One of our members prepared an activity that had the public mapping the locations of their family roots on a map of Slovenia; there was also a quiz testing one's basic knowledge of Slovenia. At the end of the Cultural program, before the band played for the rest of the day, Slovenski Dom presented two Raffle Draws. One was for a correctly-answered quiz that was distributed with the Map Pinning. We also had a Raffle draw for 4 great prizes, which the winners truly appreciated.
We'd like to express our heartfelt thanks to MOYA FINANCIAL for their generous support of this year's cultural display.
