17 Oct Lucia Luncheon: December 13, 2019
Lucia − the bearer of light
The Swedish-Canadian Chamber of Commerce is cordially inviting you to join us for our Annual Lucia Luncheon
The Lucia celebrations represent one of the foremost cultural traditions in Sweden and a highlight of the Holiday season. Lucia is an ancient mythical figure with an abiding role as a bearer of light in the dark Swedish and Canadian winters.
This cultural event is an opportunity to give your employees, colleagues, clients, friends and family a unique experience; Celebrating Lucia, the Swedish Way!
Program
Celebrate the season with old friends and new as we gather together to network and have a cup of glögg (mulled wine) and the traditional pepparkakor (ginger snaps), almonds, and raisins.
MC Brian Smith will greet the room and hand off to SCCC Chairman Lars Ruuth and Hon. Consul General, Lars Henriksson to give the opening remarks.
This year Kevin Prendergast, Executive Chef at Hilton Toronto will yet again dazzle us with his culinary skills in shaping our classic Swedish Christmas buffet. As usual it is filled with seasonal delicacies of all kinds.
(See the block below for more information about the Julbord.)
Spend more quality time with friends as we sing snaps songs and do the annual raffle.

About the Julbord
The Julbord (Christmas Buffet) is one of the most classic elements of Swedish-ness! Depending where you live in Sweden, the dishes can vary.
Traditionally, food is served in rounds or courses:
- Fish dishes: focusing on pickled herring (sill)
- Gravlax, poached salmon, shrimp salad, cod roe eggs, cheese, crisp bread
- Cured meats (including the fabled Christmas ham), more bread, and probably some pâté
- Warm dishes, with meatballs, sausage (prinskorv), a potato and cream casserole (Janssons frestelse), and sometimes bread dipped in pork broth (dopp i grytan)
After that, it’s dessert and/or cheese with crackers, finished off with some coffee and perhaps a few sweets and assorted cakes.
