About Us

Kelowna Taiwanese Cultural Society is a non-profit registered society founded in 2016.  Our founding members were enthusiastic and energetic Taiwanese immigrants who wanted to support each other in our new adopted multicultural country yet still retain our Taiwanese cultural heritage.
We are committed to work together to develop a better place for all through friendship and cultural harmony and to build a harmonious, mutually respectful and inclusive community. 

基隆納台灣文化協會為非營力註冊團體，成立於2016年。本協會是由一群充滿熱情與活力的台灣新移民所成立，期望新移民們之間互相支持並融入加拿大，具有多元文化的國家，同時仍保有台灣文化底蘊。

我們共同致力於透過友情與和諧的文化，為所有人創造更友善的空間；並建立一個和諧、相互尊重且包容的社區。
