The Norwegian Club of Toronto is a social club with a mandate to further

social and cultural events for Norwegians, persons of Norwegian heritage

and people who have a strong connection to Norway and Norwegian culture.

 The Club is a not-for-profit organization run by members of the club.

Throughout the year the club hosts social events like the annual Shrimp

evening, May 17th celebration, St. Hans (Mid-Summer night) and last but

not least the grand Christmas Ball. The club also arranges less formal

events like the Ski Day, Golf  Day, Pub nights, Bridge nights and

sewing-evenings. Once a year, normally in September/October, we have

our annual meeting where the board and the members come together to

 discuss the club's health and next year's social events. This is also

where the Board is elected and where you as a member could have a

say in the running of the organization.

Being part of the Norwegian club gives you many opportunities to meet

new people and to participate in our events. Please do not hesitate, join us today.

My dear fellow Norwegians and families,

On behalf of your Norwegian Club Board, I send deepest condolences to all in regard to the massive tragedy that has affected us all in the last couple of days. I truly hope that none of you have lost a loved one, and we send our prayers to all those in Norway who have suffered a huge loss. It is unthinkable that a tragedy of this magnitude could take place in our little peaceful country. We are all shocked and devastated.

Norway and its people are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Solveig Barber

Here is also a letter from our board member Ole Christian Klamas, who speaks from first hand experience:

Hi all.

It's a new day here in Norway, and people walk around in disbelief. This is something you only watch on TV in the news from other countries, and not home in safe ol' Norway. People were quick to accuse radical Muslims because of Norway's participation in the Afghan war and also in Libya, but the fact that it now seems like it's one ethnic Norwegian man's doings makes it even more surreal. What's worse is the 80+ teenagers gunned down at the Utøya island outside of Oslo.

I was working in a building in Torggata, less than 400 meters away from where the bomb detonated, and most windows were blown out. I was unharmed, but there were a lot of material damages. We evacuated the building and saw shattered glass covering the street. The police and ambulances were quickly on the scene and did a great job securing the area and taking care of injured people.

Be safe.
Ole Christian.
