Annual
Meeting
2024
2024 marks a significant milestone for Mennonites in Manitoba. This year, we’re commemorating the 150th anniversary of the arrival of approximately 7000 Mennonite settlers between 1874 and 1880, whose presence has woven the fabric of our province over generations.
In honour of this momentous occasion, we’re delighted to invite you to the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society’s annual meeting on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the Conference Room on the south side of Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg.
Join us for a day brimming with celebration, connection, and learning, highlighted by a lecture from renowned historian, Royden Loewen. His insights promise to deepen our appreciation of the Mennonite legacy in Manitoba and honour the contributions of our ancestors.
