Our 2022 Nordic Spirit heritage photo show “Scandinavian Immigrant Women” will celebrate the lives and achievements of women from Scandinavia who made new lives for themselves and their families here. The exhibit continues the Scandinavian Cultural Society’s “Nordic Spirit” series, featuring unique heritage photos and stories of immigration to British Columbia and other parts of Canada. Please join us for an inspiring look into the lives of some remarkable women, shared by members of our Scandinavian Centre community.
