Nordic Spirit 2019: “Are we there yet?” — Our Immigrant Travel Stories

April 13th and 14th 2019

Scandinavian Community Centre

6540 Thomas Street, Burnaby

How did your family travel to Canada? What dangers and adventures did you encounter along the way? From the time of Leif Erikson until recently, travel from Nordic countries to Canada has been arduous and required imagination, resourcefulness, stamina, and courage. Somehow we all managed to get here.

For our Nordic Spirit 2019 exhibit, the Scandinavian Cultural Society will feature our community’s immigrant travel stories through images, videos, and live presentations.

To donate photos or information, or to help with organization or preparation of the exhibit, please contact Carolyn Thauberger at cthauber12@gmail.com.
