Gujarati Cultural Association of Ottawa

Gujarati Cultural Association of Ottawa Most immigrant communities are faced with a challenge of assimilating into their new environment while preserving their own culture and traditions.

Promote Gujarati Culture, Support Gujarati Community and to provide services for religious, spiritual, socio-cultural, and other related needs of the Gujarati community in the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and vicinity. People gather with others from similar cultural and religious backgrounds to share experiences of their new life in a foreign land, to maintain their traditions and seek

comfort in times of homesickness. Our community was no exception – these were there the driving forces behind the creation of the Gujarati cultural association. Over the past 29 years, the GCA has changed in many ways, but one thing that has remained constant is the willingness of its members to dedicate their time and effort to keeping the community strong and vibrant. In all these years, members have helped out in whatever way they can – be it behind the scenes or in more publicly recognized roles. What is certain is that our Association is only as strong as our members, and after 29 years, we are still flourishing.

We are sharing a message from a community member who is seeking support in a difficult situation. The family is from Mehsana district in Gujarat and is living in Ottawa.

Please donate generously as we say

अष्टादशपुराणेषु व्यासस्य वचनद्वयम्।
परोपकारः पुण्याय पापाय परपीडनम्॥
🙏🙏🙏

It is with a heavy heart that I share my family was recently involved in a serious car accident in Ottawa, following which my mother succumbed to her injuries. This sudden loss has left us heartbroken.

She was visiting Canada on a visitor visa. Our insurance coverage will not be sufficient to cover her medical and funeral expenses. Community support will go a long way toward bearing this unexpected loss and making arrangements to give her a respectful funeral.

If you are able to support us during this difficult time, here is our fundraiser link:

Thank you for your kindness and for keeping our family in your thoughts.
