Yes that book, Veregin Story 2017, that we compiled with many volunteers to celebrate 100 years since:

  • Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood was incorporated
  • The Veregin “Dom” was constructed

and of course, 150 years since Canada was created.

After receiving 75 copies from Telwell, I was excited to thumb through the pages and found that I read each one out of curiosity. I found that I was enjoying it for the first time as I had no other purpose except to read it with no editing, etc.

Yes, there will always be a few edits that somehow got missed but I am not going to waste time being upset.

I just need to thank all those listed in my acknowledgements again as without you, the book would not be what it is. We all felt that there was so much more that could have been included and that should be part of Book II for the enthusiastic Researcher.

Those who follow my blog, can obtain their copies (if desired) by contacting:

  1. National Doukhobor Heritage Village in Veregin, Saskatchewan by calling Peter Perepolkin at (306) 542 4441 or email ndhv@yourlink.ca
  2. Doukhobor Discovery Center in Castlegar, B.C. by calling Lisa Posnikoff at (250) 365 5327 or email pozoff23@hotmail.com
  3. Elmer Verigin, Castlegar, B.C. (250) 608 2215 or email EMVerigin@shaw.ca

The Project was a first time book for me and very enjoyable journey with a large sweeping learning curve.
