Sponsorship Program The Scandinavian Community Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia is a non-profit organization that has evolved into a meeting place for the community at large through the hard work of dedicated volunteers for more than thirty years. It is a place where young and old from all walks of life can visit to experience Scandinavian traditions, culture and make friends for life. The community centre is jointly owned by the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish non-profit societies and is the only facility of its kind in the world. The community centre is unique as it is the only community centre collectively operated by all five Scandinavian nationalities (including Iceland). The Annual Scandinavian Midsummer Festival presents a very unique and exciting sponsorship opportunity. We invite you and your organization to consider being a part of this premiere community event as every year on the third weekend in June, over 4,000 people visit to celebrate the traditions and festivities of Scandinavian Midsummer. The festival is the biggest fundraising event of the year and all proceeds collected support the various cultural activities throughout the year such as the Nordic Literature Festival, Scandinavian Language classes, traditional Folk Dancing classes, purchasing books for the Library, cultural events and much more. For more information about becoming a sponsor please contact Marian Toft at mtoft@telus.net. SPONSORS A very special thank you to Heritage Canada and the BC Gaming Commission for their generous contributions to this year's Scandinavian Midsummer Festival!
