This is the Swedish Club in Ottawa!

The main purpose of "Svenska Klubben i Ottawa - The Swedish Club in Ottawa" is to support the supplementary education in the Swedish language, traditions and culture for children aged 4-14 living in the Ottawa area. Every Saturday morning during the school year the students attend half-day sessions at Hopewell Elementary School situated in Old Ottawa South.

We also want to support Swedish traditions and culture for all our members, children and adults alike, by celebrating important events in the Swedish calendar, such as

• Easter in March/April by doing Easter decorations with the students in the Swedish school.
• Midsummer with an outdoor party on or around June 24 for young and old members.
• Lucia on or around December 13 .
• Christmas celebrations in December by doing Swedish Christmas decorations with the students in the Swedish school.

 Our Event Committee organizes regular social activities as:

• monthly pub nights which gives an opportunity to the members to speak Swedish.
• a Swedish coffee party for our senior members each month, called Grupp 55+.

"Svenska Klubben i Ottawa - "Swedish Club in Ottawa" was formed at an open meeting on December 2, 2008.
