Cultural & Heritage Day - Lac Lu, Ontario
Our memorable and fun-filled Cultural and Heritage Day was held in Lac Lu, Ontario on Saturday, June 1, 2019! What a tremendous event, made possible by so many people who helped to organize, prepare, participate and perform that weekend! We "brought the Swedes out of the woodpile", and turned this picturesque area of Ontario into our "Little Sweden". Have fun watching the below videos for an occasion to remember!
