Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Vancouver Finnish Organization of Canada Local No. 55 : The origins of Vancouver Finnish Organization of Canada Local No. 55 can be traced to the Vancouver Finnish Socialist Local No. 45 (Vancouverin Suomalainen Sosialisti Osasto No. 45), an association which was established in 1906 as an affiliate of the Socialist Party of Canada. In 1910, a breakaway group from that local formed the rival Vancouverin Suomalainen Tyovaen Yhdistys Raivaaja ("Raivaaja" Finnish Workers' Association of Vancouver).

In the spring of 1911, the new association joined the Canadian Socialist Federation and was renamed Vancouverin Suomalainen Sosialistiyhdistys Raivaaja ("Raivaaja" Finnish Socialist Association of Vancouver). The next year it became Finnish Socialist Local No. 2 (Vancouverin Suomalainen Sosialisti Osasto N:o 2) of the British Columbia District of the Finnish Social Democratic Party of Canada.

Following the suppression of the Finnish Socialist Organization of Canada in the fall of 1918, the members of the Local successively associated themselves with the One Big Union and the Workers' Party of Canada. Then, in 1927, they joined the Finnish Organization of Canada as Local No. 55. It has remained so to this day and, as one of its more recent duties to the parent organization, it has looked after the affairs of the defunct Webster's Corners Finnish Organization of Canada Local No. 60.
