The Uganda Cultural Association of British Columbia is a Non-Profit Non Partisan Organization that was registered in March 2006 as a non-profit organization and incorporated in the Province of BC on March 14th, 2007. The Association’s founding and registration was due to a lack of cohesiveness in the Ugandan community here in British Columbia, therefore, the founding members decided to get together, draft a constitution and register the organization. Since its conception, the objective has been focused on mobilizing community members with intent to encourage and promote integration of old and new comers of Ugandan decent into the Canadian society.

Within its past two years of existence, under a new governing body, UCABC has accomplished the following:

• Initiated contacts with old and new community members
• Hosted the Uganda independence celebrations in October 2007
• Participated in the African soccer competition
• Created a website for the purposes of communication and easy access to one another using technological tools, and promote transparency within our community.

Our goal is to continue promoting integration into the Canadian society through civic participation and community leadership programs by holding workshops, seminars, and social gatherings.
