Austrian Canadian Society
The Austrian Canadian Society has been in Calgary since 1964. Until their current home was built the Austrian community would hold events in the old Danish Canadian Club on 11th Ave.
In June 2025 we reunited and are now both located at 3112 11st NE. The Austrian and Danish Flags fly proudly on either side of the Canadian Maple Leaf from the second floor.
We share many events together as well as a joint Austrian - Danish Menu in both the Hubertus Lounge and Mermaid Inn Restaurant.
Sharon Lutheran Church Calgary
The Danish Lutheran Church in Calgary goes back to 1913.
Today it is located on 10th Ave NE. It is the result of the joining of two Danish churches in Calgary, which took place in September-October 2010. For many years before that each church had its own story.
There is a Danish Market Store located in the Church basement. They sell many Danish goodies, items sure to remind you of home. Samples of some of the Danish items are shown below. Items vary seasonally so be sure to check back often. The market is open every Sunday as well as on special occasions. Visit the Church website for more information.

Dickson Store Museum
Dickson is the oldest Danish settlement in Western Canada, as well as the home to the largest Danish settlement on the Canadian Prairies. It was settled in 1903 by seventeen Danish settlers from Nebraska. The 17 original Danish settlers came to the Dickson region in hopes of owning their own land and establishing a future for their families.
Restoration of the store began in 1987 through the unselfish efforts of many dedicated volunteers, and in 1991 it was officially opened as a museum by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The Dickson Store Museum is a 1930’s restoration of the general store, post office, cold room, and living quarters.
The museum is open 7 days-a-week until Labour Day.
Monday through Saturday: 10 am to 5 pm
Sundays: 11 am to 5 pm.

Dania Edmonton
The Danish Canadian Society, also known as Dania, was formed in Edmonton in 1921 by a group of Danes who were interested in keeping their heritage alive in Canada. Dania is still going strong thanks to the hard work and determination of our forerunners who realized the importance of keeping their beloved heritage alive. We are proud to say that thanks to this strong determination, we now have one of the largest memberships in Canada and Dania has found a new home at the Dutch Canadian & Scandinavian Centre in Edmonton.
