L-H Inc. holds AGM and open house
On Sunday, June, 7, 2015 the board of directors and members
of Lögberg-Heimskringla
gathered for the annual general
meeting, which was held in
the newspaper’s new premises
on the 5th floor of the Sterling
Building at 283 Portage
Avenue in Winnipeg. Those
directors who live outside of
Manitoba joined the meeting
by teleconference.
President Peter Johnson
reported on the events of the
past year. The board was pleased
to appoint Stefan Jonasson as
its new editor as of January 1,
2015. Unexpectedly, the L-H
offices on the ground floor of
the Sterling Building were no
longer available, but after some
searching, the newspaper was
able to secure affordable new
office space on the 5th floor of
the same building. The move
upstairs was completed by the
staff and volunteers.
Peter informed the meeting
that a number of directors
were leaving the board for
a variety of reasons: Grant
Stefanson, Elva Jonasson,
Brian Tomasson and Garry
Oddleifson. He thanked them
for their many years of service
and also acknowledged two
former members who retired at
the previous annual meeting:
Vi Bjarnason Hilton and Lyle
Hillman.
Peter announced that
the board will be striking
a committee to review its
practices for recruiting and
nominating prospective board
members in order to ensure good
regional representation and the
acquisition of individuals with
a variety of experiences and
interests.
Peter asked for nominations
from the floor and Gunnvör
Daníelsdóttir Ásmundsson
was nominated and elected
to the board. Gunnvör will be
a great addition to our board
with her experience working
at the Icelandic Consulate in
Winnipeg and her connections
with the community in Gimli
and Iceland.
After the meeting, the
guests to our open house – who
included Ambassador Hjálmar
Hannesson and his wife Anna
Birgis, Linda Sigurdson Collette
(the 2015 Fjallkona for the
Icelandic Festival), her mother
Helga Sigurdson (the Fjallkona
for 1988), Carol and Brian
Darragh, Linda Hammersley,
and Gunnthora Gísladóttir –
toured the new premises and
enjoyed refreshments.

The Icelandic Baldur, the summer god, must have been at the ambassador’s beautiful home in Ottawa on June 17, as it was a lovely summer day. Attending were many members of the
diplomatic corps in Ottawa and members of Friends of Iceland,
who were treated to Icelandic delicacies, such as lamb, shrimp with
mango, and Icelandic Glacial water. And for sweets there were
“puffin eggs” – not real ones of course, but made of chocolate with
a white coating. This annual event was graciously hosted by the
ambassador and his charming wife, who wore a stunning necklace
of Icelandic lava – most suitable for our national day.
