Who We Are

The Indo-Pacific Foundation of Canada is a non-profit organization dedicated to forging stronger ties between British Columbia, Canada, and communities across the Indo-Pacific region. We focus on fostering dialogue, collaboration, and economic opportunities for immigrant entrepreneurs, small businesses, and community members spanning India, Macau, Hong Kong, Korea, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and beyond. By connecting these individuals and businesses with established BC-based organizations, we aim to support growth, networking, and sustainable success in Canada and abroad.

Upcoming Events

Parade of Cultures

The Parade of Cultures is an event for building friendships, understanding traditions, and showcasing the power of community. As each delegation takes to the track in traditional dress, parading symbols of their heritage with pride, they remind us that multiculturalism is not only about coexisting—it’s about celebrating one another. Whether through dance, music, or costume, each group contributes to a larger narrative of unity and belonging
