INTRODUCTION

Calgary Oriental Traditional Dress Qipao Association. Our association is a Alberta registered NPO that was founded in April 2018, currently in good standing. Our mission is to promote traditional Chinese garment culture and multiculturalism in the community. We support self-confidence and self-independence as a Chinese female immigrant living in a very diverse and culturally different country. The goal is to enhance the culture awareness, encourage integration to the society with a sense of pride in our own culture and heritage. The programs and or/services our Organization provides to the community:
1. Cultural Events and Festivals:
Organizing community festivals, art shows, and cultural events to celebrate diversity and bring people together.

Examples:
We were invited to perform in the Lunar New Year celebration for both 2022 and 2023 Mcdougall Hall organized by the Alberta Minister of Culture.
We were funded by the Alberta Ministry of Culture to organize a Multicultural Celebration for Alberta Culture Days in both 2023 and 2024.

2. Volunteer Opportunities:
Coordinating opportunities for local residents to volunteer in the community, including community clean-ups, visiting senior homes/nursing homes or local charity events etc.

Examples:
We also have been very active in the communities in organising celebration events for Stampede, Globalfest, Chinookblast, Chinese New Year, etc.
We were invited by Chinese National TV last year to participate in CHinese New Year Gala in Beijing, China, one of the most famous TV shows in China.

3. Support for Immigrants and Senior Activities:
Organizing recreational activities and providing support for older adults, offering language workshops, cultural assimilation programs, and Leisure activities.

We visit senior homes twice a year to bring joy and companionship to them.
