]]> Over 4,500 people visited Scandinavia House, regularly known as the Scandinavian Community Centre, took a tour, enjoyed a drink at the Fireside Lounge, had lunch or dinner, and watched one of the big screen TV’s. We hosted various royalty, ambassadors and political officials from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

We are so proud of all our hundreds of olunteers who logged in over 2,000 hours. They took everything in stride working with the TV media, wearing Norwegian curling pants, press reporters from around the world, partying Vikings with horned helmets and various dignitaries, all with welcoming smiles, and cheerful information.
