The Danish Canadian Club exists because of these people. People who came to this country and wanted to maintain a connection to their home country, traditions and community.
They continue to come to the club; now with children, grandchildren, extended family and friends.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our Danish culture in Canada! There are Danish clubs, organizations across the country.
Danish immigration has played an important role in the ties between Denmark and Canada. Today around 200 000 Canadians have Danish roots, with Danish communities found across all provinces and territories.
Danish immigration to Canada took place in several major waves: from the late 1880s to 1914, again during the 1920s, and especially in the decades after the Second World War. The peak year was 1957 when 7,790 Danes immigrated to Canada, more than in any other year.
From New Denmark in New Brunswick to Danish settlements in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia, Danish immigrants have helped build communities, farms, churches, schools and local businesses across Canada.
✨🇩🇰🇨🇦We are honouring 80 years of diplomacy between Denmark and Canada with bits of history of our relationship over the years.
