Visit of Russian Ambassador to Monastery, Dewdney, BC

May 27, 2015

The Russian Ambassador to Canada visited our Monastery to help dedicate the Stele in memory of our WWII veterans at our Human Rights and Social Justice Monument. Attached are photos of His Excellency's visit. Following the ceremony, a meal was served. So many people were present that the Hall was not large enough and many people ate tables set up on the lawn. A programme of Russian dance and music was performed. Our monastery has become the hub of Russian culture in British Columba. The ambassador volunteered that he would report his profound impression of the Monastery and the Russian culture here to both the Patriarch and to the President of the Russian Federation, Mr. Putin.
