Painting Description

Veregin, Saskatchewan owes what little traffic it has to the Doukabour sect. In the early 1900’s, the Doukabours established a settlement here after political problems forced them to leave Russia. From this small village, this religious group seeped out across the prairies, with many settling in British Columbia. Aside from that religious connection, Veregin resembles many other prairie towns that draw no visitors at all.
