In 1867 four British North American colonies united to form the Dominion of Canada. Soon other British territories joined this confederation and Canada stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. Since vast regions of this land were sparsely populated, one priority of this new country's governments became the promotion of immigration. During the next century-and-a-half, Canada became a nation of immigrants. Hungarians were one of the peoples who formed the influx of newcomers to Canada. Starting in the 1880s, they began to settle this land, at first mainly in the Prairie West. From modest beginnings, they have grown into an ethnic group whose members, when counting those who have mixed parentage too, number over three hundred thousand. This little book tries to tell their story from the time they lived on Canada's agricultural, lumber and mining frontier to recent decades when the predominant majority of them reside in the country's metropolitan areas. Special attention is paid to the contributions they have made to Canada's evolution from a provider of staples and resources to a diverse nation with a modern economy and sophisticated culture.
