Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Suomalainen Kansallisseura (Loyal Finns in Canada) Association : The Suomalainen Kansallisseura, an association dedicated to patriotic and educational activities among the Finns in the Vancouver area, was originally established in 1928 under the name of Valistus- ja Edistysseura "Suomi. This name was also translated into English as the Cultural and Progress Association "Suomi" and it was that version which was officially adopted. However, since it was a mis-translation, the Association was sometimes referred to as the Sivistys- ja Edistysseura "Suomi" by those re-translating the English back into the Finnish (for example, see Ulkosuomalaislehti, Vol. 2, No. 2, 15 February 1929). That difficulty was resolved in 1932 when the Association renamed itself the Kansallisseura "Suomi". In the same year, it became the local affiliate of the Central Organization of Loyal Finns in Canada. The Association was also a major participant in the founding of two other local Finnish organizations: the Fenns Athletic Club (1931) and the Vancouver Finlandia Club (1971).

The Association, now known as the Suomalainen Kansallisseura, ceased to be active in 1971 and was formally dissolved in 1976, at which time its remaining assets were transferred to the Vancouver Finlandia Club.
