Milí návštevníci nášho portálu a čitatelia Slova z Britskej Kolumbie,

ponúkam vám prehľad udalostí z histórie Slovákov na Ďalekom Západe Kanady, na pobreží Pacifiku, v prekrásnej Britskej Kolumbii, hlavne v malebnom okolí Vancouveru, kde sa slané vody Pacifiku stretajú s končiarmi vysokých kopcov.
