Celebrating Chilean Culture

Join us in preserving and sharing the rich traditions of Chile through community events.

Our mission

The mission of the Association is to maintain, promote, cultivate, and support the development of the following principles among the members of the Association and the Chilean community:

  1. Chilenidad as the expression of its ethnic and cultural identity, including its geographical roots, history, traditions, and the Spanish language.

  2. The Chilean Community as the manifestation of its members' belonging to a unified group based on their identification with Chilenidad.

  3. Social Justice and Solidarity as the appreciation of ideals that enable fair development.

Our vision

Our vision is to be a vibrant, inclusive community that honours Chile's rich heritage while embracing our members' diversity. We aim to be a leading cultural organization in Winnipeg, recognized for our commitment to cultural preservation, community support, and fostering a sense of belonging among all Chileans and friends of Chile.
