Based in Canada's National Capital Region, the Canadian Nordic Society celebrates the links and common interests between Canada and the Nordic countries: Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Since 1963 the CNS has provided opportunities to share, learn about and celebrate Nordic culture and history and Canada's Nordic connections.
The Canadian Nordic Society hosts a program of speakers, organizes events and celebrations, and publishes Nordic News, our newsletter that ensures that our members are aware of activities and news of interest.
The Canadian Nordic Society (CNS) is an organization committed to promoting among Canadians an awareness of the cultural, economic, social, political, and physical landscapes of the Nordic nations, including fostering an awareness of Canada's likeness to Nordic countries. We achieve this by providing an innovative and exciting program of activities which run from September through June. This promotion is augmented by year-round communications via our newsletter and web site.
We are proud of our long history. The Canadian Nordic Society was established in 1963. Our founding president is still an active member as well as a recipient of the Order of the Northern Star by Sweden's Prince Bertil in recognition of his services in promoting Sweden in Canada. Our membership is drawn from a wide range of local residents, both Canadians and non-Canadians, including members of the diplomatic community with whom we have traditionally held close ties and who serve as honorary members in our Society.
Members of the CNS participate in a range of activities which the Society offers such as monthly luncheons; a speaker series featuring eminent Canadians and visitors including ambassadors, explorers, scientists, academics, film directors, former Prime Ministers, authors; as well as organizing other events including Santa Lucia which is held in December. All of our events are open to the public
