Back ground

Every club needs to have some money in the bank to be able to operate even in a very cost-effective manner. Our revenue is based on the yearly membership fees, i.e. $10 per adult (18 and over) member. To be able to keep our fee low, we decided in 2012 to look at other possibilities for increasing our revenue.

That is how we came up with having a simple, useful mug printed with our attractive logo, which is showing a Swedish and a Canadian Dala horse in conversation.

The club is selling it for only $12, the cost for the club to have a mug made is around $8, which gives $4 to add to the club's bank account. 

 

 

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.

See "INAGURAL MEETING OF SVENSKA KLUBBEN I OTTAWA – THE SWEDISH CLUB IN OTTAWA."
