Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Fennos Athletic Club : The Fennos Athletic Club was established in 1931 to serve the Finnish-speaking community of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Suomalainen Kansallisseura (Loyal Finns in Canada) Association -- then known as Valistus- ja Edistysseura "Suomi" -- and its membership were instrumental to this athletic club's founding. In 1932, when agreement was reached with the local Swedish-speaking Finns of the Vancouver Lodge of the Order of Runeberg, the Fennos Athletic Club was dissolved and its membership formed a common athletic club with the members of the Runeberg Lodge. The minute book of the defunct athletic club was later used by a new society, the Finnish Choir of Vancouver (est. 1945).
