Icelanders immigrated to Canada primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to economic hardships, volcanic eruptions, and the search for better opportunities. The eruption of Mount Katla in 1918 devastated agriculture, prompting many to seek fertile land elsewhere. Additionally, the promise of land and employment in Canada, particularly in Manitoba, attracted those looking for a fresh start. Cultural ties and the desire to preserve their heritage also influenced their migration to Canada.
