Notes


An account of the migration and settlement of German-speaking families from Czechoslovakia to the Canadian prairies on the eve of the Second World War. The work focuses on approximately 150 families who established communities in the Goodsoil, Loon Lake, Meadow Lake, St. Walburg, and Bright Sand Lake districts of Saskatchewan. It recounts their relocation in 1938 and documents aspects of daily life, including the challenges of settlement, community development, and the social and economic experiences of these settlers in a new environment.
