Welcome to the homepage of the Scandinavian Society of Nova Scotia. We are a nonprofit association that began in 1976 and we have been recognized as a society since late 1980. Our members represent the various countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Our goal in the Scandinavian Society is to develop interest in, and knowledge of, the culture, customs and traditions of the Scandinavian countries in Nova Scotia. We also provide assistance to Scandinavians that are new to Nova Scotia as well as those Scandinavian students undergoing studies here in both secondary and post-secondary institutions. We can also facilitate contact with a person who has a Scandinavian background and they will be happy to help you with any questions or language interpretation skills that may be required. Throughout the year, we have various activities that help to promote and teach about Scandinavian life. Some are ongoing activities while others are fun things that we have done in the past. We also produce a quarterly newsletter and sponsor a number of cultural groups. For more information on us and the events that we sponsor every year, feel free to peruse our pages and please sign our guestbook to let us know what you think and to ask us any questions that you might have. If you would like to join the Scandinavian Society of Nova Scotia, please keep in mind that you don't have to be a Scandinavian or of Scandinavian descent to apply - we welcome anyone with an interest in Scandinavia. See our membership page for more details on how to become a member.
Thanks for visiting!!
