EVENTS
Our Events
We host events throughout the year aimed at showcasing Venezuelan culture and fostering community integration.
Most events are for all ages and free admission (or by donation). As a non-profit, we do have a few events priced fairly to allow us to recover the costs of putting it together. We focus on showcasing Venezuelan talent whenever possible.
If you have an idea, or would like to help us on our next event, please contact us via our online contact form.

Who We Are
In a few words, we are Venezuela in BC.
We are a group of dedicated volunteers with love for their native land and a passion for helping others.
We are mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, grandparents and ALL children of an amazing country. We are also blessed and thankful to be living in Canada.
We are siblings of the foam, the herons, the roses, and the sun!

We also provide our communities with some awareness of the critical humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, which has become the main driver of many of our activities and fundraising events.

We promote Venezuelan culture, identity, and folklore through our various programs, community services, and events.
We promote Venezuelan values and traditions as well as learning of the Spanish language in British Columbia.
