Saskatoon Norwegian Cultural Society
About Saskatoon Norwegian Cultural Society
Founded on the principle of maintaining and enjoying Norwegian heritage, the Saskatoon Norwegian Cultural Society has served the Saskatoon, SK area as a non-profit community organization for over four decades. The society's mission centers on creating meaningful connections to Norwegian culture through inclusive programming that welcomes participants of all backgrounds and experience levels. Operating since 1983, the organization has built a strong foundation by offering evening language classes, traditional folk dance instruction, and seasonal craft workshops that celebrate Norwegian artistic traditions. Beyond regular programming, the society strengthens community bonds by hosting beloved annual events such as the traditional Norwegian Christmas service at Zion Lutheran Church and sponsoring cultural exhibitions at major Saskatoon festivals. The organization demonstrates its commitment to supporting the next generation through a dedicated scholarship fund that enables young people to pursue educational opportunities in Norway. As a grassroots cultural organization, the Saskatoon Norwegian Cultural Society represents more than programming—it embodies a living connection to Norwegian heritage, fostering relationships among community members who share appreciation for Nordic traditions, values, and artistic expression. The society invites all interested individuals to join in celebrating Norwegian culture through participation in classes, events, and community activities throughout the year.
