ABOUT LITTLE FINNS

Since 1997, Little Finns has been a community where parents/guardians come together to socialize and to organize activities around Finnish culture and language for their children. Parents and grandparents are REQUIRED to participate in the planning and workshops.

  • Children are welcome regardless of Finnish skill level.
  • Sessions may include culinary workshops and outdoor activities.
  • Sessions run on Sunday afternoons at specified locations in Calgary.
  • During the sessions, the children will listen, speak, read and write Finnish using fun, age and skill level-appropriate activities, games and play. We will also get to know Finnish culture and traditions through hands-on experiences.
  • We provide activities to continue learning at home.
  • We maintain a library of Finnish children’s books that students can borrow to read at home. Donations of gently used books are welcome!
  • There is no fee, but a Calgary Finlandia Cultural Association FAMILY membership is required. Visit our MEMBERSHIP page for more information.
