In view of the influx of new immigrants from Taiwan to Canada, around 40 Taiwanese Canadians in Vancouver established the Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Society (TCCS) in 1991. Today, the TCCS has over 2700 family and individual members. Besides providing various settlement services hoping to help new-comers enjoy a smooth transition in this new land they have chosen, TCCS plays an important role in introducing Taiwanese culture to the Canadian public through large-scale annual events, such as Taiwanese Cultural Festival & Lunar New Year in Taiwan Exhibition, Taiwanese Folk Art Tent at the Vancouver International Children's Festival and other multi-cultural activities. With continual effort in the past sixteen years, the TCCS has become one of the main information sources for various government needs. It is the goal of the TCCS to promote mutual understanding and cultural harmony between Taiwanese and other ethnic groups in Canada.
