Show detail Hide detail

Finnish Canadian Rest Home Association : The founding meeting of the Finnish Canadian Rest Home Association (FCRHA) was on November 23, 1958 with 250 people attending and approving the first Constitution and Bylaws of the FCRHA. Their first rest home for the elderly, the Finnish Canadian Rest Home, opened its doors in 1963. The second home, Finnish Manor, was opened in 1975. Although the Association functions under a British Columbia charter, it has drawn significant financial support and clientele from across Canada as the first Finnish Canadian enterprise of this type.
