Leif Erikson Day 2025 — “Crossings”

For Leif Erikson Day 2025, we will celebrate the adventures of Nordic people who crossed the Atlantic to seek new homes in North America. This year marks two special anniversaries for Scandinavian emigration. The first Norwegian emigrants (since the Greenland Viking explorations) sailed to North America in 1825, and Icelanders first arrived in Canada to found a major settlement in 1875. 

Please join us to learn about the Atlantic crossings of intrepid Scandinavians

with presentations, activities, and living history on the Viking Ship replica Munin

Date: Sunday 26 October, 2025, 11:00am – 6:00pm

Venue: Scandinavian Community Centre, 6540 Thomas Street, Burnaby, BC
