  • Founded in 1995, the Canadian-Croatian Chamber of Commerce is

    a not-for-profit network of Croatian-Canadian businesses, professionals

    and organizations that has emerged as the voice of Croatian-Canadian

    business in Canada.

    The Chamber brings together a vibrant and dynamic group of businesses,

    professionals and organizations who have developed strategic relationships

    in both Canadian and Croatian economic, commercial, political, and cultural

    The Chamber’s objectives include:

    • Providing networking opportunities both in a social and business setting.

    • Sponsoring and promoting cultural events, educational lectures,

    seminars, exhibitions, and conferences on relevant and timely topics.

    • Promoting the development of bilateral business relations, trade, and

    investment opportunities between Canada and Croatia and working

    with the Canadian-Croatian Business Network, the Croatian Chamber

    of Economy and other organizations on opportunities that advance

    our common goals and interests

    A $2,000 scholarship and two $1,500 bursaries will be awarded by the Chamber to eligible students enrolled in a full-time program at a university, college, or technical/vocational institute in Canada.

    KING TOMISLAV ($100,000+) - King Tomislav was a ruler of Croatia in the Middle Ages. He reigned from 910 until 928, first as Duke of Dalmatian Croatia from 910 until 925, and then he became the first King of the Croatian Kingdom in 925 and reigned until 928. He is celebrated as the founder of the first Croatian state, uniting the Croats of Dalmatia and the Slavs of Pannonia into a single Kingdom. He ruled over the territory of today’s Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, rounding off his state from the Adriatic Sea to the Drava River, and from the Raša River in Istria to the Drina River.

    QUEEN JELENA ($50,000-$99,999) - Jelena of Zadar was the queen consort of the Kingdom of Croatia, as the wife of King Michael Krešimir II, from 946 to 969, a period which was allegedly marked by “peace, order and expeditious growth”. She became the queen of Croatia after her husband died and reigned until her death in 976. Also known as “mother of orphans and protectress of widows”, she was revered by her subjects and most adored for her charity and known for bringing peace to the Kingdom.

    KING PETAR KREŠIMIR IV ($25,000-$49,999) - Petar Krešimir IV was a notably energetic King of Croatia from 1059 until his death in 1075. He was the last great ruler of the Krešimirović branch of the House of Trpimirović. Under his rule the Croatian realm reached its peak territorially, expanding Croatia along the Adriatic coastland and in the mainland eastwards and bringing Slavonia into the Croatian fold. This expansion earned him the sobriquet “the Great”.

    KING DMITAR ZVONIMIR ($10,000-$24,999) - Dmitar Zvonimir was King of Croatia from 1076 until his death. He also ruled as Ban of Slavonia (1064 to 1074), and was named Duke of Croatia in around 1075. His native name was Zvonimir, while the name Dmitar was adopted at his coronation. He took a hard line against the Byzantine Empire. He was the last native king who exerted any real power over the entire Croatian state, which he inherited at its height and ruled it from the city of Knin.

    PRINCE BRANIMIR ($5000–$9,999) - Branimir was a ruler of Dalmatian Croatia who reigned as Knez from 879 to 892. He was recognized by Pope John VIII as the Duke of the Croats. During his reign, Croatia retained its sovereignty from both Frankish and Byzantine rule, and became a fully recognized state.

    NIKOLA ŠUBIĆ ZRINSKI ($2500-$4999) - Nikola Šubić Zrinski was a Croatian nobleman and general in service of the Habsburg Monarchy, Ban of Croatia from 1542 to 1556, and member of the Zrinski noble family. He was known across Europe for his involvement with the Battle of Szigetvár and is today seen as a hero by both Hungarians and Croatians.

    VICEROY JOSIP JELAČIĆ ($1,000-$2499) - Viceroy Josip Jelačić of Bužim was the Ban of Croatia from 1848 to 1859. He was a member of the House of Jelačić and a noted army general, remembered for his military campaigns during the Revolutions of 1848 and for his abolition of serfdom in Croatia. On April 19, 1848, he proclaimed the union of Croatian provinces, and the separation from the Kingdom of Hungary.

    MARKO MARULIĆ ($500-$999) - Marko Marulić (1450-1524) was a Croatian moral philoso-pher and poet and Christian humanist, known as the Crown of the Croatian Medieval Age and the father of the Croatian Renaissance. He is one of the most important figures in Croatian literature. He was also the first to use the term “psychology” in his Latin treatise, Psichiologia de ratione animae humanae.

  • Help Us Uncover the Truth

    “In the month of July, 1916 I was arrested without any reason, and for 15 days I was fed on bread and water. I was tortured and beaten without cause for same. On order from my inspector, I was treated like a tramp, and beaten and locked up in a dark cell without a matrass or a cover. It was a cold place. I was not permitted to wash for several days, and was fed on bread and water only, so that I am scarcely alive. Since my arrest I have been so sick and weak that I can hardly stand on my feet. They call me a “Black Hand”. I really do not know what to think about such a system. I never expected to meet such absurdity in Canada in the twentieth century.” Petar Š.

    All donations towards the project are eligible for a tax receipt as permitted under CRA guidelines.

    He came to Canada before 1914 to help build our country. When war broke out, he along with hundreds of Croats became an “enemy alien”, had his meagre possessions confiscated

    and was forced to do heavy labour in 24 camps established by the federal government from 1914-1920, simply because of where he came from. He was fortunate to survive the internment

    experience while some of his fellow Croat prisoners of war died in the camps. His story has been unknown for 100 years - you can help us change this.
