German-Canadian History

"The Germans were and are the 2nd largest group (after the British) of people inSaskatchewan, and Western Canada for that matter. They are the third largest in Canada (after the British and French). However German-Canadians are not German-Germans per se. Most are from Russia (Catholics mostly, but also Mennonites and Lutherans). The second largest group are from German colonies in South-eastern Europe (the Banat especially). The Germans settled everywhere in Sask., especially the German colonies of St. Joseph and St. Peters in mid- and northern-Sask. Most Germans in Sask are Catholics. In Regina, Germans occupied Germantown and accounted for 20-27% of the population."
