Vapaus

Vapaus

"Vapaus" (Freedom) was a Finnish-Canadian communist newspaper, published in Sudbury, Ontario between the years of 1917-1974. Vapaus was closely associated with the Finnish Organization of Canada, a communist organization connected to the Communist Party of Canada.

In 1974, the newspaper merged with the Finnish-Canadian literary magazine "Liekki", moved to Toronto and was renamed "Viikkosanomat". Later the paper took up its old name "Vapaus" and continued publication until 1990. Its role was continued partially by the magazine Kaiku, published by the Finnish Organization of Canada since 1990. Kaiku is predominantly in English, with pages in Finnish as well.
