Custom Stickers & Labels — Sointula, British Columbia

Sointula is Canada's most utopian village experiment and the 'Place of Harmony' — the Malcolm Island community founded in 1901 by Finnish socialist leader Matti Kurikka as the Kalevan Kansa Co-operative Commonwealth (one of Canada's most ambitious intentional community experiments, attempting to create a Finnish utopian socialist commune in the remote BC waters of Queen Charlotte Strait) — a visionary experiment that collapsed after two years but whose Finnish settlers stayed and created one of BC's most culturally distinctive fishing communities, where the Finnish Heritage Museum preserves the idealistic founding story, the Finnish steam bath tradition, and the commercial salmon fishing culture that sustained Sointula for 120 years after the utopia dissolved.
