How the television program Slovak Spectrum was born
The Ottawa branch of the Slovak League has always been active in promoting Slovak culture. In 1978, it established the monthly television program Slovak Spectrum on cable TV, with Mr Emil Purgina as its first producer.
From 1982 until 2002, the production was led by Mrs Margita Moore, after which the responsibility was passed on to Mr George Frajkor. The program was also supported by assistants Ms Lívia Koneval and Ms Anne Ladouceur.
Ms Anne Ladouceur later continued in the leadership and production of Slovak Spectrum with immense dedication, enthusiasm, and love for the project, guiding it all the way until 2024. She then passed the baton of leadership and production to her younger colleague, Ms Charlotte Smulders.
Ms Charlotte Smulders worked for several months as an assistant, and at the end of 2024 she officially took over the management and production of Slovak Spectrum. She continues this important work, ensuring that the program lives on and that Slovak cultural heritage in Canada is preserved and shared with future generations.
