Who We Are

Indian Society of Calgary (ISC) is a non-profit company registered in the province of Alberta, Canada. The ISC was born out of a combined vision and need for a united group of people hailing from India. Many fellow Calgarians were eager to meet fellow Indians, but were getting caught in regional boundaries and geographical distances- by choice or simply due to convenience. We were already an established base of nearly 4000 Indians, staying in touch through our very active Facebook group- Indian Society of Calgary. But there was something missing. Between the Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati, Sikh, Marathi, North, South, East and West Indian and many other societies, the essence of India was hidden somewhere.

Thus, a group came into being to not just change this narrative, but also to bring all Indians living in Calgary on a common platform. ISC hopes to be a beacon of change that will encourage us to overcome the nuances of differences in our culture and get to know one another, beyond our regional ethnicity. We, as a brand new platform, aim to better serve our community: unbiased and all-encompassing.
