Notes

New Finland is a small rural district in southeastern Saskatchewan, where Finnish settlers began homesteading in 1888, establishing the first Finnish settlement on the Canadian prairies.
This community history begins with an introduction discussing Finnish immigration to North America, followed by chapters featuring essays on community establishments and institutions—schools, churches, culture and recreation, agriculture, and district-related anecdotes.
The remainder of the book profiles families from the region and includes an Honor Roll and a bibliography.
