Cossack Picnic In Montreal, Canada

The Montreal Stanitsa Continues its decades long tradition of hosting the annual Cossack picnic in Rawdon, approximately 50km northeast of the Stanita headquarters. Rawdon was the home to many immigrants following the Russian Revolution, and World War II including Cossacks. The day started with a memorial service at the orthodox cemetery at the Lienz monument. The Cossacks and guests proceeded to the riverside area for further celebrations.
