P\u0159\u00edchod emigrant\u016f z \u010desk\u00fdch zem\u00ed do Britsk\u00e9 Kolumbie a Yukonu lze rozd\u011blit do p\u011bti dosti rozli\u010dn\u00fdch vln. Pred tou prvn\u00ed to byli jen jedinci jako Pater Pandozi, kter\u00fd vedl misi v Okanaganu nebo Eskymo Welzl, pol\u00e1rn\u00ed cestovatel, jeho\u017e hrob v Dawson City dodnes udr\u017euj\u00ed na\u0161i trampov\u00e9. Za zm\u00ednku tak\u00e9 stoj\u00ed, \u017ee kdy\u017e prezident Masaryk p\u0159iplul v roce 1917 do Severn\u00ed Ameriky aby zde zah\u00e1jil kampa\u0148, kter\u00e1 skon\u010dila vznikem nez\u00e1visl\u00e9ho \u010ceskoslovenska tak \u2014 pr\u00e1v\u011b jako pozd\u011bji skupiny legion\u00e1\u0159\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed se touto oklikou vraceli ze Sibi\u0159e do vlasti, nejd\u0159\u00edve p\u0159ist\u00e1l ve Vancouveru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V t\u00e9 prvn\u00ed vln\u011b p\u0159ist\u011bhovalc\u016f po Prvni sv\u011btov\u00e9 valce byli zem\u011bd\u011blci, tov\u00e1rn\u00ed d\u011bln\u00edci prchaj\u00edc\u00ed p\u0159ed nouz\u00ed v pov\u00e1le\u010dn\u00e9 Evrop\u011b. Kdy\u017e se pak koncem dvac\u00e1t\u00fdch let pom\u011bry ust\u00e1lily, nastal hromadn\u00fd p\u0159esun k \u00fat\u011bku. V t\u00e9to druh\u00e9 vln\u011b byli v\u011bt\u0161inou vzd\u011blan\u00ed a mnohdy i z\u00e1mo\u017en\u00ed lid\u00e9 \u2014 l\u00e9ka\u0159i, pr\u00e1vn\u00edci, obchodn\u00edci a podnikatel\u00e9 v\u0161eho druhu. Uplatnili sv\u00e9 znalosti rukou. Brat\u0159i Koernerov\u00e9 zde zavedli su\u0161en\u00ed dosud bezcenn\u00e9 tsugy kanadsk\u00e9. T\u0159et\u00ed vlnu tvo\u0159ila politick\u00e1 emigrace po \u00fanorov\u00e9m uchv\u00e1cen\u00ed moci komunisty v roce 1948. Byli to lid\u00e9 anga\u017eov\u00e1n\u00ed v Rakousku a It\u00e1lii. Poda\u0159ilo se sponsorovat des\u00edtky rodin, jejich\u017e adoptov\u00e1n\u00ed \u010d\u00e1st se jich pak rozprchla po sv\u011bt\u011b, kde se v\u011bt\u0161inou dob\u0159e uplatnili.

Kdy\u017e letadlo pak p\u0159ist\u00e1lo v Ganderu v provincii Nova Scotia, mnoz\u00ed pasa\u017e\u00e9\u0159i po\u017e\u00e1dali o azyl v Kanad\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ov\u0161em tou nejv\u011bt\u0161\u00ed organizovanouvlnou vlnou byla ta p\u00e1t\u00e1, po srpnu 1968. Po invazi vojsk Var\u0161avsk\u00e9ho paktu vedenou sov\u011btskou arm\u00e1dou uprchlo tis\u00edce lid\u00e9, kte\u0159\u00ed cestovali d\u00e1l. V Kanad\u011b delegace Sdru\u017een\u00ed po\u017e\u00e1dala kanadskou vl\u00e1du o pomoc a z\u00edskala slib, \u017ee 12,000 uprchl\u00edk\u016f bude okam\u017eit\u011b bez jak\u00fdchkoli formalit p\u0159ijato a tak je zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed letadla brzy rozv\u00e1\u017eela po Kanad\u011b. Do Britsk\u00e9 Kolumbie jich p\u0159i\u0161lo asi 10% z jejich kone\u010dn\u00e9ho po\u010dtu, kter\u00fd nakonec dos\u00e1hl asi 15,000 lid\u00ed. Postupn\u011b pak p\u0159ich\u00e1zeli dal\u0161\u00ed, nejd\u0159\u00edve z pr\u00e9rijn\u00edch provinci\u00ed, kde byly nezvykl\u00e9 zimy. V\u011bt\u0161ina z nich z\u016fstala v okol\u00ed Vancouveru a Victorie, jen men\u0161\u00ed ostr\u016fvky se vytvo\u0159ili ve dvou hotel\u00edch. Po ukon\u010den\u00ed kurzu angli\u010dtiny jim zdej\u0161\u00ed odbo\u010dka Sdru\u017een\u00ed pom\u00e1hala nal\u00e9zt ubytov\u00e1n\u00ed a zam\u011bstn\u00e1n\u00ed. Studenti \u0161li na univerzity, proto\u017ee u\u010d\u0148ovsk\u00e1 v\u00fdchova z Evropy zde byla vysoce oce\u0148ov\u00e1na. Dal\u0161\u00ed p\u0159\u00edchoz\u00ed byli u\u017e sp\u00ed\u0161e ve form\u011b jednotlivc\u016f ne\u017e vln. Po listopadu 1989 zbyl d\u016fvod emigrovat z politick\u00fdch d\u016fvod\u016f jen komunist\u016fm, ale t\u011bch jsme zde mnoho \u201cneuv\u00edtali\u201d. Ov\u0161em koncem devades\u00e1t\u00fdch let n\u00e1s pon\u011bkud p\u0159ekvapil n\u00e1hl\u00fd hromadn\u00fd p\u0159\u00edjezd emigrant\u016f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vancouversk\u00e1 odbo\u010dka \u010cesk\u00e9ho a Slovensk\u00e9ho sdru\u017een\u00ed v Kanad\u011b vznikla pod jin\u00fdm jm\u00e9nem ji\u017e b\u011bhem t\u0159ic\u00e1t\u00fdch let a byla velmi \u010dinn\u00e1 za v\u00e1lky. Zas\u00edlali se bal\u00ed\u010dky voj\u00e1k\u016fm a ve\u0159ejnost byla informov\u00e1na o situaci v nacisty okupovan\u00e9m \u010ceskoslovensku. Tehdy m\u011bla po Kanad\u011b 93 odbo\u010dek, dnes jich zb\u00fdva jen dev\u011bt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odbo\u010dka v Britsk\u00e9 Kolumbii je nejv\u011bt\u0161\u00ed, i kdy\u017e jen pom\u011brn\u011b m\u00e1lo krajan\u016f je v n\u00ed organizov\u00e1no. Politick\u00e1 \u010dinnost, kter\u00e1 n\u00e1s sdru\u017eovala po doby nacistick\u00e9 a sov\u011btsk\u00e9 okupace odpadla a z\u016fstala jen spole\u010densk\u00e1 \u010dinnost. Odbo\u010dka informuje o \u010dinnosti v\u00fdborn\u00e9ho \u010desk\u00e9ho ochotnick\u00e9ho divadla, tane\u010dn\u00edch z\u00e1bav\u00e1ch, filmov\u00fdch p\u0159edstaven\u00edch a jin\u00fdch kulturn\u00edch podnic\u00edch.
