Finnish Canadians are individuals in Canada who have Finnish ancestry or heritage. They primarily descended from immigrants who arrived in Canada during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, seeking better economic opportunities and escaping difficult conditions in Finland. Many settled in regions like Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. Today, Finnish Canadians contribute to the cultural diversity of Canada, celebrating their heritage through festivals, traditional foods, and community events. Organizations such as the Finnish Canadian Cultural Federation promote Finnish culture and language, helping to maintain connections to their roots while integrating into Canadian society.
