Our Mission
At the Uttarakhand Cultural Society, we understand the challenges that come with moving to a new country, and we are committed to providing resources and support to help you navigate the transition. Our organization is run by a dedicated team of volunteers who are passionate about serving the needs of our community.
Whether you are a new immigrant or have been living in Edmonton for years, we are here to help. Our services include assistance with finding housing, employment, and education opportunities, as well as connecting you with social and cultural events to help you feel at home in your new community.
One of the unique aspects of our organization is our commitment to preserving and promoting the culture and traditions of Uttarakhand. We believe that it is important to maintain a strong connection to our heritage, even as we adapt to life in Canada. We regularly host cultural events, festivals, and celebrations that showcase the music, dance, and art of Uttarakhand, and we encourage all members of our community to participate and share their talents.
At the Uttarakhand Cultural Society, we are committed to building a strong, vibrant, and inclusive community in Edmonton. We believe that by working together and supporting one another, we can create a better future for ourselves and our families. Whether you are looking for assistance with settling in Canada, or simply want to connect with others who share your cultural background, we invite you to join us and become a part of our community.
Uttarakhand is a region located in northern India, known for its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and diverse population. Home to a variety of ethnic and linguistic groups, Uttarakhand is a land of ancient traditions and practices that have been passed down through generations.
The Uttarakhand Cultural Society is dedicated to preserving and promoting this unique cultural heritage, both within our own community and to the wider public. We believe that by sharing our traditions and customs, we can enrich the cultural fabric of Canada and create a more harmonious and inclusive society.
Our cultural events and celebrations are an important part of this mission. From the vibrant colors and sounds of the Holi festival to the music and dance of Navratri, our events provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Uttarakhand. We also organize food festivals, where you can sample delicious regional cuisine and learn about the culinary traditions of our region.
But our mission extends beyond just preserving our cultural heritage. We are also committed to helping our community members thrive in their new home of Edmonton. We understand the challenges that come with adapting to a new country, and we offer a range of services to help ease the transition.
If you are new to Edmonton, our volunteers can assist you with finding housing, employment, and education opportunities. We also provide support for families, including childcare and language classes. And if you simply want to connect with others who share your cultural background, we host regular social events and activities where you can meet new friends and build a strong community.
At the Uttarakhand Cultural Society, we are proud to be a part of the diverse fabric of Edmonton. We welcome individuals and families from all backgrounds to join us in celebrating our cultural heritage and building a more inclusive and welcoming community.
