This year as well as last year, The Chamber is excited to offer you a Virtual Lucia Luncheon. Join us in celebrating one of the foremost cultural traditions of Sweden and a highlight of the Holiday season. Because of the pandemic, we cannot meet in person, but the silver lining is that we can extend our reach (right around the world) and share the celebration with many more.
This cultural event is an opportunity to give your employees, colleagues, clients, friends and family a way to connect and participate in a unique experience — especially this year when it is important that we all come together and celebrate the light.
Like all previous years, The Lucia Lunch – Julbord will center this virtual Lucia celebration. We are also happy to provide another exciting Auction, and our MC, Brian G Smith will masterfully lead us through the activities by adding some fun interactive games to the action-packed program.
Silent Auuction
This year we are continuing with our very successful silent auction. There are some wonderful items to be won, thanks to our amazing sponsors, so check out the available pieces, choose the one you would like, and put in your bid!
The Lucia Lunch- Julbord is available for pick up or delivery.
As part of this year’s festivities, a boxed Julbord/Swedish Christmas Buffet is available to order. We are very proud to be able to offer a Traditional Christmas plate/Box at a lower price than last year. This is thanks to our excellent food partner, EnVille. We offer ONE menu but are open to making some changes if you have particular dietary concerns.
Orders for 1–4 people can be placed directly with EnVille (Via button below). The SCCC will process all orders for 5 people and over via Pay Pal (Via link under Tickets further down).

Tänk om jag hade lilla nubben på ett snöre i halsen!
Tänk om jag hade lilla nubben på ett snöre i halsen.
Jag skulle dra den upp och ner,
så att den kändes som många fler.
Tänk om jag hade lilla nubben på ett snöre i halsen.
Att köpa byxor ,en prövning för många,
De sitter sällan så bra som de ska.
De om är för långa för korta för trånga,
Men en schnapps sitter jämt lika bra.
Buying pants, is a test for many,
They’re rarely as good as they should.
They are either too long, too short or too tight,
But a schnapps fits always… just right!
The Lucia tradition, is celebrated on December 13 every year. Lucia is the bearer of light in the dark Swedish, and now in our case, also Canadian winters.
With a crown of candles on her head Lucia leads a procession consisting of girls and boys in white full-length gowns holding a lit candle in their hands while singing traditional songs bringing light and joy to the world.
