THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN

THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN CLUB
--------was organized in 1938 by a group of younger
Icelandic Canadians for the purpose of perpetuating Ice-
landic culture and promoting good fellowship. It now has
a large membership, most of whom express themselves
more fluently in English than in Icelandic.
Our organization has long felt the need of a publication
to broadcast its aims and objects, and to which our mem-
bers could send original contributions. In this way, we
believe that this new publication will play a leading role in
promoting the aims and objects of the society, both
cultural and social.
The staff of the “Icelandic Canadian” has been selected
from our members and we take this opportunity of thank-
ing them for their laudable efforts in the launching of this
