Founding Purpose and Goal:
Seven enthusiastic individuals founded the Yodel Club Heimattreu Calgary, Canada in 1976. The aim was then, as it is now, to preserve, practice and perform authentic and traditional Swiss Yodel songs, uphold Swiss culture and language and to encourage other like-minded groups to do so as well.
In this regard the club is a member of the Swiss Yodel Federation (www.jodlerverband.ch) and the North American Swiss Singing Alliance (NASSA).
The Swiss Yodel Federation consists of hundreds of groups in Switzerland and about 30 groups of expatriate Swiss around the world. Every three years, a national festival and competition takes place. Swiss-based groups have to qualify to participate. Groups from abroad may get invited to compete and will be judged by the same standards as the local groups.
NASSA's judged competitions also take place every 3 years and are held at member locations in Canada and the USA.
