Background on the Day of Slavic Written Language & Culture
May 24th is the Day of Slavic Written Language and Culture, celebrated in Russia in
memory of two great enlighteners, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, who created the first Cyrillic
alphabet.
This initiative, by Vaughan Public Libraries and the Russian Library & Community Information Centre, is the 4th celebration of the Day of Slavic Written Language and
Culture that the two organizations have co-sponsored.
Their first collaboration in 2005 was the first time this special event was celebrated in
Canada. The evening will showcase Russian artwork and literature, readings by local
Russian poets, and entertainment by a children’s folklore ensemble. Over 70 people
attended the previous celebration.
“The Day of Slavic Written Language and Culture provides residents with an opportunity
to share special customs and traditions, while learning more about the unique cultural
heritage of Slavic communities,” says Gino Rosati, Chair, Vaughan Public Library Board.
“Vaughan Public Libraries participates in the festivities by offering fun-filled activities to
explore Russian music, literature, artwork and poetry, in addition to hosting exciting
folklore performances.”
One of the organizers of this event and host of the evening is Svetlana Roufanova,
Founder of The Russian Library & Community Information Centre, the only Russian Library in Canada. Initially located in Thornhill, the Russian Library & Information Centre moved to 920 Alness St., Unit 206 in North York. ...

СОВМЕСТНЫЙ ПРОЕКТ РУССКОЙ БИБЛИОТЕКИ И VAUGHAN PUBLIC LIBRARIES
НАШИ КОРНИ. ПРЕСС-РЕЛИЗ ГЕНЕРАЛЬНОГО КОНСУЛЬСТВА РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ В ТОРОНТО О ПРАЗДНОВАНИИ ДНЯ СЛАВЯНСКОЙ ПИСЬМЕННОСТИ И КУЛЬТУРЫ

О ПРАЗДНОВАНИИ
ДНЯ СЛАВЯНСКОЙ ПИСЬМЕННОСТИ И КУЛЬТУРЫ
20 мая с.г. в Торонто прошло празднование Дня славянской письменности и культуры, инициатором проведения которого выступила Русская библиотека в Торонто.
Взыскательному взору участников праздника была представлена выставка разнообразной книжной продукции - от учебников русского языка для начальных школ до изданий, которые могли бы заинтересовать специалистов по истории и лингвистике, а также изделия народных промыслов. Прекрасно смотрелась коллекция русских национальных костюмов и вышивок, изготовленных руками энтузиастов из числа соотечественников. Под девизом "Родство по крови образует слово, родство по слову создает народ" состоялся фестиваль самодеятельных поэтов-русистов. Не осталось без внимания и подрастающее поколение - для школьников был проведен занимательный урок народного прикладного творчества. Особую праздничную атмосферу мероприятию создали совсем юные участники детского фольклорного ансамбля "Ладушки", исполнившие русские народные песни.
В рамках проекта оказания содействия зарубежным библиотекам соотечественников "Сто библиотек" генеральный консул РФ А.В.Векленко преподнес в дар Русской библиотеке в Торонто многотомное, красочно оформленное собрание книг из золотого фонда русской литературы.
Празднование в Торонто Дня славянской письменности и культуры еще раз дало возможность испытать законное чувство гордости за культурное наследие России, а также способствовало развитию многопланового партнерства российских соотечественников с исторической Родиной.
