We Take a Great Amount of Pride in What We Do
Our team is a diverse and dedicated group of individuals who are passionate about supporting and empowering the Tamil community. We bring together a wide range of skills, experiences, and backgrounds to better serve our members and advance our mission. Whether it’s organizing cultural events, providing educational assistance, or advocating for community needs, our team is united by a common goal: to enrich the lives of our community members and promote unity and cultural preservation in Maritime Canada.
Our History
Our story began with a shared vision of bringing the Tamil community together and creating a support network for newcomers and long-time residents alike. From the very beginning, we recognized the importance of unity, cultural preservation, and community engagement.
Since our inception, we have embarked on a remarkable journey, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of our community members and the wider Halifax community.
Over the years, we have achieved several significant milestones:
Wildfire Support: When our community faced the devastating challenge of wildfires, we as a whole community rallied to provide vital support to those affected.
Tamil Classes for Kids: Recognizing the importance of preserving the Tamil language and heritage, we collaborated with other Tamil Sangams to organize and conduct Tamil language classes.
Cultural Showcases: We’ve taken immense pride in participating in various community events and showcasing Tamil culture.
“Through dedication and unity, we forge the bridge between our heritage and our future, ensuring our culture shines bright.”
Strengthened by Unity, Shaping Our Cultural Legacy
Our journey has been marked by countless hours of volunteer work, the dedication of our leadership, and the unwavering support of our community. We remain dedicated to our mission, working hand in hand to create a brighter tomorrow for our community, celebrating our culture, and embracing the spirit of unity that defines the Maritime Tamil Welfare Association.
