Ziua Universala a Iei | Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse
June 24, 2020
In ziua de 24 iunie, in Romania şi in comunităţile romaneşti din intreaga lume se sarbatoreste Ziua Universală a Iei.
Ia este cea mai importantă componentă a costumului tradițional romanesc, deoarece determină compoziţia ornamentală a costumului. Ia a fost purtată pentru prima dată in perioada culturii Cucuteni (aprox. 5500 iîe.n.- 2750 i.e.n.), una dintre cel mai vechi civilizații din Europa. Este impodobită cu broderii si motive populare romanești mai ales la maneci, pe piept și la gat. Unele ii sunt impodobite și cu mărgele sau paiete.
Suntem bucurosi sa ne alaturam initiativei de a celebra acest tezaur romanesc cu o selectie de fotografii reprezentand ii din toate partile Romaniei, purtate de oameni aflati in diferite parti ale lumii.

On June 24, in Romania and in the Romanian communities around the world, we celebrate Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse.
Ia is the most important component of the traditional Romanian costume because it determines the ornamental composition of the costume. Ia was worn for the first time during the Cucuteni culture (approx. 5500 BC - 2750 BC), one of the oldest civilizations in Europe. It is adorned with embroideries in Romanian folk motifs, especially on the sleeves, on the chest, and on the neck. Some are also adorned with beads or sequins.
We are happy to join the initiative to celebrate this Romanian treasure, with a selection of photography representing the Romanian Blouses from all parts of Romania, worn by people in different parts of the world.

“Hello, Spring!” Romanian event set for March 14, 2020, canceled
March 12, 2020
Dragi prieteni,
Stimati membri,
Avand in vedere situatia dificila in care ne aflam cu totii in aceasta perioada referitoare la raspandirea Coronavirus in Calgary si recomandarile Health Service Alberta din acesta dupa-amiaza, conducerea RCCAC a decis in urma cu cateva ore inchiderea evenimentului “Hello Spring!”, eveniment care urma sa aiba loc in data de 14 martie 2020 la Centrul Cultural Croat.
Ne pare rau pentru orice inconvenient, speram ca toti sa ne pastram calmul si sa depasim cu bine aceasta perioada.
Sanatate tuturor!

Hi everyone,
Due to the rapidly evolving situation regarding COVID – 19, and based on advice from medical health authorities and the Government of Alberta’s prohibition on the gathering of more than 250 people, gathering with international participants and gathering when the organizer cannot assure social distance, RCCAC convened in extraordinary session on March 12, 2020, decided to close the event named above and set to be held at the Croatian Canadian Cultural Centre.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmKWIRUmXUQ
As circumstances are rapidly changing a new date has not been confirmed at this time but it is our current intention to reschedule the event when the times permit. We assure you our decision to close the event was not made lightly. However, the safety of our guests, team members, and community is our top priority during these uncertain times.
Stay safe and stay sane!

The Pitesti Experiment is an unfinished, historic film, a 100% independent production, the only Romanian film funded by crowdsourcing, with visibility in the national and international press of over 4,000 news, even before the release, according to the film director, Victoria Baltag. The film is due to be released in December this year.
The movie depicts the true story of the events which took place in Romania between 1949 and 1951 when, following the establishment of the Communist regime, all students were compelled to become members of the Party. Consequently, those who refused were imprisoned and 're-educated'. The re-education phenomenon, a concept borrowed from the Soviet pedagogue A.S. Makarenko, relied on the assumption that every person can become a 'new entity' through 're-education', which in this instance was achieved by means of both physical and mental torture.

We are raising funds to help Victoria Baltag - the Director, and her production team, to finish the film with the post-production costs, including music, color grading, sound editing (foley, dialogue cleaning, sound design, mastering, mixing), enveloping (text and credentials). Early this spring of 2020 Victoria will have a presentation film tour in Canada aiming to raise awareness on such a vital yet hidden part of Romania’s history.
The tour will include the cities of Toronto – ON (Feb. 28), Edmonton – AB (Feb. 29), Calgary – AB (March 1), Regina – SK (March 3), Winnipeg – MB (March 9), and will be achievable with the help of local cultural associations and/or Romanian diplomatic missions.

The needed amount remained for the above stages is 36,000 Euros which represents the 20% that they're missing to complete this true story film. All the money we'll collect through this campaign will go to Victoria Baltag production.
Early this spring of 2020 Victoria intend to have a presentation film tour in Canada aiming to raise awareness on such a vital yet hidden part of Romania’s history, tour that will include the cities of Calgary - AB, Edmonton - AB, Regina - SK, Winnipeg - MB, Montreal - QC, and will be achievable with the help of local cultural associations and/or Romanian diplomatic missions. In this sense, this fundraising campaign will run for a limited period, between January and February 2020.
