In 2023 we commemorated the centenary of the migration of some 21,000 Mennonites from the Soviet Union to Canada between 1923 and 1930. A cross-country train tour linked many of these commemorations, tracing the journey made by these migrants a century ago. The Russlaender Migration: From Revolution to Reflection a new documentary film from Refuge 31 Films, the Centre for Transnational Mennonite Studies, and the Mennonite Historical Society, tells the story of this migration and its commemoration a century later. Screenings have been scheduled across the country.

The Mennonite Historical Society of Canada was established in 1966 to sponsor the writing of a history of the Mennonites in Canada.
