What
is finnishcanadian.com?
finnishcanadian.com is a special service
provided by Vapaa Sana Press Ltd, the publisher of the Vapaa Sana (in
Toronto) and the Canadan Sanomat (in Thunder Bay). The service was launched
in the late 90s by Osku Penttinen of Toronto, and later taken over by
the Vapaa Sana Press.
What is the vision of finnishcanadian.com?
finnishcanadian.com is striving to serve the whole Finnish Canadian community, irrespective of political or religious affiliations. This is achieved through the website as an electronic focal point for the community.
How
can I support finnishcanadian.com ?
finnishcanadian.com,
like any other service, needs funds to operate. Currently the most concrete
way of supporting finnishcanadian.com is to take a subscription of one
of our newspapers. The Vapaa Sana (Toronto) offers also a fortnightly
supplement in English, as part of the paper. The Canadan Sanomat (Thunder
Bay) is usually in Finnish only. To subscribe, contact customerservice@vapaasana.com
Why
is the website mostly in English?
Statistically,
the majority of finnishcanadian.com's viewers are likely to be second
or third generation Finnish Canadians, who may understand some Finnish
but are most likely only able to read English. These same viewers are
also more likely to own a computer and to be connected to the internet.
For features in Finnish see www.vapaasana.com or www.canadansanomat.com
