Calgary Korean Association

The Calgary Korean Association (CKA) is a registered not-for-profit providing information and support to, as well as promote, the Korean community in Calgary. CKA represents about 15, 000 Koreans living in and around Calgary, providing support for established and new Korean Canadians as well as awareness, appreciation and understanding of Korean culture for the general public. As an umbrella organization, it collaborates with other Calgary groups such as: - Calgary Korean Seniors Association- Calgary Korean Cultural Centre- Calgary Korean Lions Club- Korean Canadian Businessmen's Association- Calgary Korean Scholarship Foundation- Calgary Korean Art Club- Calgary Korean Performing Arts Society. In 2010, the CKA moved from a small converted house at 17th Avenue and 30th Street SW to its current location at 7008 Farrell Road SE, Calgary. Through its many centres, programs, and services for all generations, the Korean community in Calgary has grown significantly in the past 50 years. It has demonstrated great commitment to supporting the diverse interests and needs of its members and, with its unique Korean hospitality style, has made positive contributions to sharing its cultural heritage and contributions with the broader Calgary community.
