Finnish House Society - Who We Are
Finland House Society (FHS) is a member-led charitable organization that brings Canadian Finns or Finnish-Canadians, their families and friends together to celebrate Finnish culture, strengthen community connections and carry our heritage forward.
Our home at the Scandinavian Community Centre
Together with the House Societies representing Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Norway, FHS helps manage the Scandinavian Community Centre—a shared hub for cultural celebrations, community events and gatherings.
WHAT WE DO
Got Sisu?
It's a powerful Finnish word.
Born a Finn or one whose grandparents were, or just interested in Finland
Welcome, one and all, to The Finland House Society (FHS)! We are a family oriented, charitable society focused on facilitating, coordinating and promoting a wide range of Finnish athletic, cultural, academic, festive and seasonal events, classes and activities.
The Centre offers a library, commercial kitchen, lounge and main hall, along with a large outdoor field featuring a children’s playground, a historic sauna—no longer in use—and a large Viking ship. These spaces provide a welcoming setting for sharing traditions, building friendships and connecting young, old and those in the middle.
