Our Cultural Community
Victoria Edelweiss Club
Victoria
The German Canadian Cultural Society (aka Victoria Edelweiss Club) was founded in 1970 to preserve the cultural practices of the German speaking immigrants of the Victoria area, and to help integrate them to the Canadian way of life. It was hoped that Canadians would come as guests to social events and learn about German culture too - and they did!
White Eagle Polish Hall
Victoria
The White Eagle Polish Association is a non-profit organization, founded to maintain and promote Polish culture in Victoria. The Association aims, among others, to maintain and promote Polish culture, preserve traditions and help Polish immigrants adjust to life in Canada. The headquarters of the Association is the White Eagle Hall, which is the focal point of Polish cultural activities in Victoria.
IL CENTRO - ITALIAN CULTURAL CENTRE
Vancouver
The Italian Cultural Centre, or Il Centro, has been an essential part of Vancouver’s cultural landscape for more than three decades. It opened in 1977 when its founding members, 13 existing Italian Associations, came together “to promote and share Italian culture, values and heritage with all communities”.
