Svenska Kulturföreningen Vancouver
Founded in 1970, our Mission/Purpose is to:
- Preserve the traditional culture of Sweden, and to keep up with emerging cultures.
- Promote the understanding of Swedish culture in Canada.
- Maintain affiliation with the Swedish people in Sweden, and to promote understanding of Canadian cultures by them.
- Preserve the Swedish language among Canadians of Swedish descent.
We’re a community that comes together - alongside our families and friends - to celebrate cherished Swedish traditions and events throughout the year.
We stay connected through a variety of enriching activities, including Swedish school programs, language classes, and meaningful volunteer opportunities that bring our culture to life.
The Swedish Cultural Society, one of the Swedish groups within the Sweden House Society, calls the Scandinavian Community Centre in Burnaby its home.
It is also the home of the Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Finland House Societies.
