Our History
The Queen Helena Canadian-Croatian Cultural & Charitable Society was formed in 1978, in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Since its origin, the organization’s goals and missions have been to promote and preserve the rich cultural heritage of its Croatian ancestors. With numerous dance performances and tambura accompaniments, Queen Helena C.C.C. & C.S. has entertained a vast number of audiences throughout Canada, United States, Croatia and Europe.
