Canadian Friends of Finland - what we do.

Learn about Finnish culture through our regular film showings, music gatherings, poetry readings and our informative newsletter.

Many of our members have direct ethnic links with Finland but we also have members who enjoy a cultural exchange between Finland and Canada. 

CFF Vancouver co-operates with other Canadian and Finnish organizations in pulling together cultural events in the field arts, literature, music, film education and and more all in an effort to promote a network of contacts among Canadians interested in Finland.
