Special Edition of Folklore Magazine: Post-World War II Immigration to Saskatchewan

✨Pitches for the Folklore Magazine Special Edition are due on October 20, 2026!✨

Published quarterly since 1979, Folklore is a unique venue for sharing stories of Saskatchewan. Folklore shares history through the lens of everyday people's lived experiences and local, regional, and community histories. “People stories” are one of the magazine’s strengths—stories of events, daily life, family, humour, and unique experiences.

This Special Edition is made possible by a generous bequest from longtime Folklore subscriber Lena Woolley, who passed in 2024. The Special Edition’s starting point is a theme touching on Lena's life: post-World War II immigration to SK.

We’re looking for submissions that reflect a variety of perspectives on Saskatchewan post-war immigration, that reflect a diversity of time periods, experiences and angles, including (but not limited to) war brides, displaced persons and political refugees, economic migrants, people impacted by historical forces in the wake of WWII (up to and including the present day), and more.
