Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Hungarian News Company : The Canadian Hungarian News Company was established in 1924 by Ivan Hordossy, an immigrant from Hungary. It published the weekly Canadian Hungarian News (Kanadai Magyar Ujság), and printed a number of other publications, including Quiet Moment (Csendes Percek) and Living Faith (Élö Hit), both religious monthlies. The most important Hungarian Canadian newspaper until its demise in 1976, the Canadian Hungarian News offered its largely immigrant readers from coast to coast the latest reports from the old homeland and familiarized them with conditions in Canada. It included special interest sections for farmers and housewives; offered its weekly serial story, as well as columns on social science, health and other subjects of interest to its readers.

The Canadian Hungarian News Company imported for its readers medicines, books and other goods from Hungary. In 1934 it established a lending library. The newspaper took a leading role in establishing the Canadian Hungarian Association, organized in 1928. After World War II and following the 1956 uprising it solicited funds and gift parcels in aid of the needy in Hungary and for the many refugees who left their homeland.
