Pelimanni Orchestra

Oh those were the days... Oi niitä aikoja... We are mourning and trying to process the loss of the Finnish Labour Temple in a tragic fire last night. The Finlandia Club was our home for over 30 years. What a loss for all Finns, the community and everyone who had an opportunity to experience it. Our heart goes out to all. So many memories and luckily a lot of photographs.

Hyvää Joulua! Merry Christmas! We hope to get back to practicing and performing in spring 2022. We miss making music together. ... Best wishes to a better 2022!

Some have asked for a date to make plans. The Festival date will be June 24-26th, 2022. We are hopeful but time will tell if we will be allowed to have larger gatherings. No venue has been decided upon yet.

Hyvää Juhannusta! https://www.finnfestivalcanada.com/juhannus-2021/ One of our submissions has now been added. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the performances.

Muistelemme kunnioituksella sotiemme veteraaneita ja lottia.

Wow! 110 years ago the Finnish Labour Temple (aka) the Finlandia Club open their doors. This is a significant and historical accomplishment to the Finnish commu...nity as well as an anchor of Thunder Bay with its location being in the heart of the multicultural and historical multi-ethnic Bay-Algoma Neighbourhood. The Finnish Labour Temple houses the Hoito Restaurant, an internationally acclaimed restaurant. The Hoito was established in 1918 which continues to serve traditional Finnish meals. See more
