Here’s to a fantastic year!

Please join us to celebrate Valborg on Sunday April 26th at 6pm! As always, we will be celebrating at Ambleside Beach (beside dog park) in West Vancouver.

This is a celebration of the arrival of Spring! We will gather around a bonfire, sing songs and roast hot dogs. Please bring your own hot dogs and a sweater/jacket as it can get a bit cold on the beach. We will provide song sheets so that everyone can join the singing!

For more information on the Valborg celebration, please visit our Valborg Events Page or contact SwedishCulturalSociety.ca@gmail.com

Looking for a meaningful way to give back this year? Join our incredible community of volunteers and help bring our events to life!

Throughout the year, we host a variety of events that support our mission and strengthen our community - and we simply couldn’t do it without passionate people like you. Whether it’s helping with event setup, greeting guests, supporting activities, making or preparing food, or working behind the scenes, there’s a place for everyone to make a difference.
