Our History

Four key moments that defined our journey:

Sun at Granville

Our first official watch party under a clear, sunny Vancouver sky (21°C). 300 compatriots gathered to sing the national anthem in front of Granville's Fatburger. A spark of community was born.

Jun 23

The Flag at The Shipyards

A gathering at North Vancouver's pier. We realized we did not need a physical venue to feel at home; the diaspora itself is our cultural vessel.

Jun 26

The Lesson at PNE

Faced with fragmented groups and costly commercial entry barriers, we decided to build a free, inclusive, and independent community space.
