The Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Ottawa was established in 1993 as an official representative body of the Slovene Government in India. The embassy provides consular assistance and promotes bilateral political, economic, and cultural relations.

Is is estimated that around 40,000 Canadians citizens have origins in Slovenia due to the massive emigration after the Second World War. Canada is also one of the overseas countries with the largest Slovenian diaspora, but not big as in the United States.


Cultural cooperation

Since 1993 the two states collaborate on a bilateral and multilateral basis, also in regards to cultural cooperation.

Film and visual arts

The Embassy is supporting events individually and also on the European Union level. At the 28th European Union Film Festival in 2013 in Ottawa and in Toronto films A Trip by Nejc Gazvoda (Perfo production), Night Boats co-produced by Bela Film and Olmo Omerzu's A Night Too Young were screened and supported by the Embassy. In 2014 a film Boles was screened at the EU Film Festival.

Literature

In honour of Boris Pahor's 100th birthday in 2013 a series of literary evenings with film screenings were organised at several venues: Ottawa Public Library, Toronto North York Central Library and Vancouver Public Library. On this occasion an excerpt of Pahor's Necropolis in English was available as an downloadable e-book for readers in Canada, United States and United Kingdom.

Music

The Embassy supported music concerts of Barbara Jernejčič Fürst and Žarko Ignjatović during their tour at various venus in Breslau, Etobicoke, Hamilton and Ottawa. In 2014 duo Irena Preda and pianist Nejc Lavrenčič played at the School of Music at University of Ottawa.
