Latvian Society, Halifax 1951-1969

Tha Halifax Latvian Club was founded in 1951. It became an established meeting place for Latvians from surrounding areas. To help new immigrants a Latvian school was started.  By the late 1960's expansion was required. A new hall was built on to the rear of the existing building, making it possible for the Latvian Club to host it's own functions instead of hiring the local Co-Op Hall.

With the new hall came concerts; music (guitar and piano), songs and poetry performed by Maija Račičskis, Eva Navarska, Baiba Dzitars, Janis Račičkis, Sandra Collins, Rasma Blaževics, Lilija Zobens.

In later years the concerts included:

Accordianists - Aina, Voldis, Nora, Rolands, Brigita, Andris
