Lithuanian Canadian Community
The Lithuanian Canadian Community refers to the group of individuals in Canada who have Lithuanian heritage or ancestry. This community has its roots in the waves of Lithuanian immigrants who arrived in Canada, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, seeking better opportunities and escaping political turmoil.
Today, the community is active in preserving its cultural heritage through various organizations, festivals, and events. Notable institutions include the Lithuanian Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto and the Lithuanian Scouts. These organizations promote Lithuanian traditions, language, and history, fostering a sense of identity among members.
