Canadian Finnish refers to the Finnish-speaking community in Canada, primarily concentrated in regions like Ontario and Alberta. This community emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Finnish immigrants arrived, seeking better opportunities and escaping economic hardships in Finland. The culture of Canadian Finnish people blends traditional Finnish customs with Canadian influences. They celebrate unique festivals, maintain their language, and often engage in activities like sauna and sisu, a concept embodying resilience and determination. This cultural fusion contributes to the rich tapestry of multiculturalism in Canada.
