Tiivistelmä
Finnish immigrants began to filter into Canada about the early I880's. Since then many of these newcomers have made Canada their home. Canadians of Finnish origin numbered 15, 497 by 1911, 43,885 by 1 931, 59,3 46 by 1 961, and have then gradually declined to 52,315 in 1981 due to the lessening tide of immigration from Finland in recent years. In the course of their settlement in this country, Finnish Canadians have contributed their language, culture and aspirations to the Canadian scene by founding churches, temperance and cultural societies, and by publishing newspapers, magazines and books to satisfy their own needs and to assist one another to integrate into Canadian life. Throughout its many decades of service to people of Finnish extraction in this country, the Finnish Organization of Canada has played an important part in that process.
