About Korean Cultural Centre Canada
Serving the Ottawa, ON community and Canadians nationwide, the Korean Cultural Centre Canada represents a meaningful commitment to enhancing mutual understanding between Korea and Canada. Established in 2016 as a government institution under the Embassy of the Republic of Korea to Canada, the KCC embodies the strong partnership between two nations that have achieved significant diplomatic, economic, and trade milestones—including the Korea-Canada Free Trade Agreement and collaborative science and technology initiatives. The Centre's mission centers on connecting with Canadians by sharing the richness of Korean culture through accessible, community-focused programming. Whether through film festivals like the annual Ottawa Korean Film Festival, traditional hanbok experiences, cultural workshops, or language classes, the KCC creates spaces where Canadians can engage authentically with Korean heritage. The organization prioritizes collaboration with local and national arts institutions and communities, recognizing that cultural exchange strengthens the broader Canada-Korea relationship. Conveniently situated in downtown Ottawa with easy access via public transit and parking options, the KCC welcomes visitors of all backgrounds and ages. The Centre's commitment extends beyond exhibitions and performances to include outreach programs designed to reach diverse audiences across Canada. By hosting events ranging from intimate film screenings to large-scale festivals and demonstrations, the Korean Cultural Centre Canada fosters genuine connections and shared experiences that deepen appreciation for Korean culture while celebrating the values of friendship and cooperation that bind the two nations together.
