Preserving Heritage, Building Community Since 1976

For nearly five decades, the Sri Lanka Canada Association of Ottawa (SLCAO) has served as a cornerstone of the Sri Lankan Canadian community in the National Capital Region.

Established in 1976, SLCAO was founded with a vision of bringing together Sri Lankan families and individuals living in Ottawa while preserving the rich cultural heritage, traditions, and values of Sri Lanka.

Over the years, the association has grown into a vibrant community organization that promotes cultural understanding, social engagement, volunteerism, and community support.

Through cultural celebrations, educational initiatives, sporting events, family gatherings, and charitable activities, SLCAO has created lasting connections among generations of Sri Lankan Canadians and friends of Sri Lanka.

Today, SLCAO continues to foster a welcoming environment where members can celebrate their heritage, strengthen community bonds, and contribute positively to Canada's multicultural society.
