Victoria Filipino Canadian Association
The Victoria Filipino Canadian Association (VFCA)
is a non-profit organization established on February 10, 1969. Its
purpose was chiefly to help new immigrants from the Philippines find
housing accommodation and help each other to adjust to the Canadian way
of life. The signatories on the application for the incorporation were
all women in the health-care field.
In 2005, the VFCA underwent a facilitated process to develop a
strategic plan and to introduce a strategic orientation to its
operational planning. As a result, its vision, mission and goals were
amended as follows:
Our Vision
Filipino Culture is celebrated in the Canadian mosaic, and the
Victoria Filipino Canadian Association is recognized as a positive
contributor.
Our Mission
The Mission of the Victoria Filipino Canadian Association is
to:
- Initiate and promote Filipino cultural and social
traditions,
- Provide access to resources and support to those in need,
- Practice charity,
- Promote good citizenship.
