Finnish Credit Union
At the turn of the century (from 19th to 20th), many Scandinavians migrated to Canada. Those who came to Toronto settled in what was then the northern suburbs of Toronto along the Yonge Street corridor up to Steeles Avenue. Today, most of the Scandinavians have moved further away from the city, and have integrated into the larger Canadian society. But on Eglinton Avenue East, a Finnish Credit Union (co-operative bank) called Osuuspankki is still in business. The word pankki is Finnish for bank.
