the profile of the Icelandic Community in
the eyes of people all over North America.
2) Secondly, I want to mention
Logberg-Heimskringla. The paper has now
seen an increase of about 300 subscribers in
a year or so. The activity in the Icelandic
community has produced a stream of new
subscribers. This means that it is more than
possible to expect thousands of people of
Icelandic descent to become interested in
Iceland and Icelandic affairs through
Logberg-Heimskringla. This must be one
of the major goals of the Icelandic commu-
nity in the next years.
3) And thirdly, there is the base of the
Icelandic community in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg is the second largest community
of people of Icelandic descent in the world.
The biggest outside Iceland—by far. This
should be seen in the community participa-
tion in Winnipeg, but that is not the case
today. I see this as an important task for the
future to strenghten considerably the base
of the Winnipeg community for the good
of the Icelandic community in Canada and
North America as a whole.
Thank you for allowing me to send
these final remarks to you all through the
Icelandic Canadian. Although we are leav-
ing now we will definitely be seeing you
again.
