Celebrating Juhannus. Our post office put on an early solstice celebration during this weekend. This Midsummer celebration is also Finland's Flag Day. Sointula does not let the tradition die.
A look into the life and sights of Sointula, BC. On an island off the top of Vancouver Island lies a most intriguing composite of community and independence- of idealism and practicality- and of old school and progressive attitudes. Distinct and in a wildly beautiful location, Sointula is the main small community on Malcolm Island. We visited in the 70's, returned many times and eventually settled here to discover all that the island has to offer us.
