A collection of handwoven Finnish folk dance garments, originally made in 1979 by Thunder Bay’s Margit Peura for the Kiikurit group, was rescued from a discard pile after a 2021 fire at the Finnish Labour Temple and transferred to the Scandia Fun Dancers in Winnipeg.
The preserved costumes, including vests, a skirt, and shawl, symbolize enduring Finnish-Canadian cultural ties and the legacy of local craftsmanship.
