In the early twentieth century the Croatian people embraced the great ideals of the Radić brothers and joined the branches of the HPSS in large numbers. These branches promoted education, through which national awareness and self-confidence grew. Croatian cooperatives, the Croatian Sokol and other organizations were founded.

Our ancestors brought these noble principles to Canada and officially founded HSS Ontario as early as 1933. In the following years they continued their work across Canada, promoting patriotism and the sovereignty of the Croatian state.

Christmas Lunch in Vancouver

By HSS Vancouver / In Events / Dec 19, 2017

On December 3, 2017, members of the HSS “Ivan Gundulić” branch held their traditional Christmas lunch at the society’s hall in Burnaby, BC, and it was a great success.

Joining our members were the friends who had volunteered at our summer Croatian Day Picnic. After a hearty meal and some delicious desserts, everyone got to enjoy Croatian music. We were entertained by members of the klapa “More” from Split, who happened to be in town that day, and once they had finished, the fun carried on with our own local band “Crno vino,” who are always glad to join us.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time as volunteers to make this gathering such a success.
