United Filipino Canadian Associations in British Columbia

About United Filipino Canadian Associations in British Columbia

The United Filipino Canadian Associations in British Columbia represents a mature and unified Filipino-Canadian community in Vancouver, BC and throughout the province. Founded in 2015 as an evolution of the Pista ng Bayan Society, UFCABC emerged from the collaboration of over 40 established Filipino-Canadian organizations seeking to stand independently while strengthening their collective voice. The organization's mission centers on instilling unity, commemoration, and cooperation among all Canadians of Filipino descent while preserving and celebrating the rich culture, heritage, and traditions of the Filipino people. UFCABC serves as a unifying force that honors the individuality of member organizations while building upon shared interests and common goals within the community. The association provides a gathering place where Filipinos can socialize, share ideas, and discuss issues beneficial to their collective future. With an extensive advisory board and area representatives spanning across British Columbia, UFCABC reflects the diversity and geographic spread of the Filipino-Canadian population. The organization celebrates the distinctiveness of Filipino-Canadian identity within the broader multicultural landscape of the province. Beyond cultural events, UFCABC demonstrates deep community commitment through humanitarian assistance, emergency support for the Philippines, and collaborative efforts with international groups promoting multiculturalism. The organization's evolution from a single event-organizing society to a comprehensive community coordinating body showcases the growing maturity and self-determination of Vancouver's Filipino-Canadian community, making UFCABC an essential cultural and social institution serving the needs and aspirations of Filipino-Canadians across British Columbia.
