Explore Doukhobor Culture!

In 1899 7,500 Doukhobors travelled from Russia to Canada, first settling in what became known as Verigin, Saskatchewan, named after leader Peter “Lordly” Verigin. Later, they moved across the country to the West Kootenay area of British Columbia.

You can visit these areas where Doukhobors had communities, try some traditional food and learn what communal life was like at the turn of the 20th century.
