An application was received from the
Scandinavian Cultural Society requesting a grant to support the Leif Erikson
Day Festival to be held on 2016 October 15-16 at the Scandinavian Community
Centre. This festival celebrates Leif Erikson Day and annually features the
history, current endeavours and contributions that one particular Nordic
Country has made to Canada by its emigrants. Sweden is the featured country
for 2016. Activities include talks and presentations by experts, music and
folkdance, craft workshops, displays and exhibitions, film, children’s
programming and cultural foods.
