A heartfelt 'thank you' to all our wonderful Volunteers.
The principal aims of the Society are to:
- promote education and research into the Scandinavian culture and languages
- publicize the efforts and accomplishments of the Scandinavian immigrants to Canada
The five Scandinavian countries are represented in the Society by local groups: Dania (Denmark), Finnish Society (Finland), Icelandic Canadian Club (Iceland), Solglyt Lodge #143 (Norway) and Skandia Lodge #549 (Sweden).
