Our speakers will be Mabel Kiessling and Anne Stang from the Calgary Chapter of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia.
Their presentation will be about the resources available at the Chapter’s library and they will demonstrate “Bunnock,” a game brought by German settlers to Canada.
