Victoria Filipino-Canadian Seniors Association
Thirteen years ago, elderly new immigrants from the
Philippines and Canadian of Filipino ancestry established an
organization.
The Victoria Filipino-Canadian Golden Age Association
was founded by Fely Arevalo, Dominador
Celeste, Lourdes Celeste, Adoracion
Cubangbang, Serafin Cubangbang, Isidoro
Emmanuel, Potenciana Emmanuel, under the
auspices of the Victoria
Filipino Canadian Association with the assistance of Flora
Bariuad, Connie Custodio and Nor
Gonzales.
In 1989, with the help of Attorney Domingo de Lara,
the association finalized its constitution and by-laws and registered
with the registrar of societies under the Society Act.
Members meet at least once a month and the business of the
association is followed by a social pot-luck party.
Our Objectives
- To provide a program of social activities in order to get
adjusted to the Canadian way of life; and,
- To maintain the Filipino heritage by sharing experiences,
beliefs, ideas, talents and skills.
