Hungarian heritage sites presented by a Canadian website
Change language:
Initiated by the Hungarian Embassy of Ottawa, a Canadian website has been created with the purpose of introducing the most important Hungarian heritage sites and values to the North American country.
In Canada, collecting Hungarian values started in 2017, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the country’s establishment. This special event was the starting point of the project when the country’s history, society, and culture were put under examination, and it turned out that Hungarians have an important part in Canada’s daily life. However, there was no global information network or heritage collection that provided information about this interconnection.
The collection process took almost two years and was realised by the involvement of several Hungarian organisations and local communities, thanks to whom more than one hundred documented Hungarian heritage sites are presented in Canada, illustrated with photographs. Besides information exchange, the website provides awareness of these values as well.
Hungarian values are grouped into seven categories on the website.
