An interesting piece of Canada's History!

Arrival in Canada

"Persecuted in Russia, many Doukhobors were allowed to emigrate to Canada, assisted by novelist Leo Tolstoy and his followers in addition to British and American Quakers and Russian anarchists. More than 7,500 sailed to Canada in 1899 and settled in what was to become Saskatchewan, where they lived as a community. The migration of  Doukhobors was the largest single mass migration in Canadian history."
