The editorial comments on the Ice-
landic Festival of Manitoba, Islen-
dingadagurinn. At a recent meeting
at Gimli, Manitoba, the President,
Mr. Glenn Sigurdson, mentioned the
fact that in a few years the íslendin-
gadagurinn will celebrate its hun-
dredth anniversary. As is well
known, the first Icelandic festival in
Manitoba took place in Winnipeg in
August, 1890. The President felt that
preparations for this historical event
will be launched soon and stated that
the writing of the history of the Fes-
tival will soon begin but an editorial
board is being formed.
The Icelandic Festival is one of the
Content I
Icelandic culture on this continent
etc. This annual celebration draws
thousands of Icelanders from far and
wide so it also serves as means to
keep the Icelanders together.
When the past is considered, one
cannot but notice the many poems
and verses dedicated by such poets
like Stephan G. Stephansson and
Guttormur Guttormsson to the íslen-
dingadagurinn. A publication of these
poems and verses should also be
considered.
Last but not least, the input by in-
dividuals and groups from Iceland is
very important. They bring Iceland
and its culture closer. The Icelandic
oldest (if not the oldest) ethnic
celebrations in Canada. Its purpose
has been to commemorate the
Festival Committee should make
every effort to increase Iceland's
participation.
