Canadian Friends of Finland Vancouver Fundraising: Authentic Hoito Pancake Mix
We are excited to offer a delicious and meaningful fundraiser:
the Authentic Hoito Pancake Mix (Aito Hoito-Lettutaikina Jauhosekoitus)
—a true taste of Finnish-Canadian heritage!
Founded in 1918, the Hoito Restaurant in Thunder Bay, Ontario became famous for its hearty meals and iconic Finnish pancakes. Sadly, in December 2021, a fire ravaged the historic Finnish Labour Temple—the home of the Hoito—causing the beloved restaurant to close its doors.
Yet, the spirit of Hoito remains alive through recipes, memories, and efforts like this fundraiser, which helps to preserve and celebrate its legacy.
Why try Authentic Hoito Pancakes?
· With the help of a small local company, Big Lake Pasta, the Finlandia co-op recreated the original Hoito recipe while staying true to the taste and texture of the ones the restaurant was serving. We had the Hoito Pancake mix shipped to Vancouver from Thunder Bay.
