The article treats the activities of the Slovene Emigrants in Canada for the Independent Slovenia. The Slovene emigrants from all over the world (except from the USA), especially those from Canada, Australia and western European countries were organized into the World Slovene Congress in 1991. One of the most important actions of the Slovene Congress was the campaign for the recognition of the independence of Slovenia. The Conference of the Slovene Congress for Canada grow out of the Committee to help the victims of floods in Slovenia. The majority of the Canadian-Slovene organizations took part in it. Within the framework of this conference the Slovenes alone, or together with the Croatian emigrants, organized several meetings in support of Sloveno independence in the summer and autumn of 1901. Stane Krnnyc, the president of the Canadian conference of the World Slovene Congress and the other Canadian Slovenes wrote a lot of letters to Barbara McDongall, the Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs, and Brian Mulroney, the Canadian Prime Minister, in which he acquainted them with the situation in Slovenia and demanded that Canada recognize the independence of Slovenia. Canadian Slovenes gathered material aid. Until the end of July about 5 300,000 were raised. In part also as a result of the efforts of the Canadian Slovenes Canada recognized Slovenia together with the countries of the European Union as early as January 15, 1992.
