The Canadian Romanian Society of Alberta was incorporated as a
non-profit organization on April 4, 1978.he idea of forming a
Romanian organization was first discussed at an Annual Meeting
of the Sts. Constantine and Elena Church. Grants from the
Provincial Government were being discussed at the meeting,
although churches or religious organizations did not qualify
for grants. Thus, the idea of creating a Romanian organization
with no religious ties, was born.Steve Axani took the idea to
William Yurko, a Member of the Alberta Legislative Assembly,
to assist. Eventually, a Society was incorporated, with the
signatures of the following people who were appointed to the
Board:
