Swedish Cultural Association of Manitoba
We have a number of activities over the year to help people feel a bit like home, or learn some of the Swedish culture. Anyone is welcome to attend and join our club. Here are just some of the things we do at Swedish Cultural Association of Manitoba: Swedish Cultural Association of Manitoba usually averages 40-60 members per year. It is a small but vital organization whose mandate is to encourage promotion and/or participation in Swedish culture. We attempt to keep Swedish traditions alive, teach others about Sweden and its culture, and inform about current events and affairs. We serve not only Swedes in Winnipeg, but also around Manitoba, as well as Swedes from Saskatchewan, Ontario, and northern USA.
