Sports
A self-directed program. The Sons of Norway Sports Medal Program is a fun and engaging way to stay active while enjoying the Norwegian tradition of friluftsliv (outdoor life and recreation)! It's uniquely designed to reward healthy habits at every age, activity level and exercise preference. - www.sofn.com
We are always looking for ways for members ot participate in physical activites. We promote physical wellbeing, which results in a sense of camaraderie.
A blast to the past: Sports Weekend
Post-pandemic - this has not been offered. The Sports Weekend was an important annual Sons of Norway activity involving all Lodges in Alberta and Saskatchewan. A volunteer Lodge hosted the Sports Weekend each year. The event generally took place over three days and the host lodge determined the dates.
Social activities included such as a buffet banquet and a dance; and a breakfast/brunch and at times the awarding of trophies.
They have included: Norwegian whist, bowling; walking and golf. Members, and their guests can participate in whatever activity they choose.
A big 'tusen takk' to all lodges who were hosts for many, many years!
