Swedish settlement sign unveiled June 26

The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion poppy fund members Gerry Enger, left, and Roald Torpe, right, presented Legion president Bill Hart with a defibrillator to make the service club a heart safe place.
A sign paying tribute to early Alberta pioneers was unveiled on private property southeast of Meeting Creek along Highway 56 on June 26. "The sign is a tribute to all the Swedish immigrants and settlers who worked with the little bit they had to make this part of Alberta their home," said Ken Johanson. "We can be very proud of their achievements." The new sign replaces one that was put up in 1978 at a location not far away with funding from the provincial government but was later taken down. "The government provided the signs to different culture groups in the province," said Johanson. "Linnea Lodge wrote the English text while Lennart Petterson wrote the Swedish text." In attendance at the official unveiling ceremony on September 9, 1978, was Peter Unger, the Swedish ambassador from Ottawa; Horest Schmidt, Alberta Minister of Culture; Gordon Stromberg, MLA; Jack Lyle, the reeve for the County of Camrose; Isabel Anderson, County councillor for Division 1; Reverend Kroger, the Lutheran bishop; and Udo Johansson. The new sign was created by Dennis Gustafson, of Camrose. The cost of material and labour were covered by the Scandia Vasa Lodge #549 and the Norden Lodge #513. "The government would have nothing to do with providing any help or money to replace the sign," said Johanson. "Their comment was that they could not afford the maintenance." Major areas of settlement for Swedish pioneers were Thorsby, Calmar, Falun, Malmo, and Edensville. The latter became Meeting Creek when the railroad arrived in 1910.
