ATCC stands for Association of Tamilnadu Canadian Community. We are a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization founded in May 2023, dedicated to uniting and empowering the Tamil community across Canada through cultural preservation, community support, and meaningful events.

You can register as a volunteer by filling out the volunteer registration form on this page. We have 13 different teams covering areas like event management, social media, IT, legal advocacy, and more. Choose the area that interests you most, and we'll connect you with the relevant team lead.

ATCC organizes a wide variety of events including cultural celebrations, career fairs, networking meetups, sports tournaments, family BBQs, and educational workshops. We've hosted events like IPL screenings, Ramadan iftars, women's empowerment webinars, and partnered with major concerts like Yuvan Live and Bharadwaj Concert.

While ATCC was founded to serve the Tamil community from Tamil Nadu, we welcome all Tamil speakers and anyone interested in Tamil culture. Our events and programs are open to families, students, professionals, newcomers, and anyone who wants to be part of our vibrant community.

Follow us on our social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram (5,000+ followers), WhatsApp groups organized by city/province, and YouTube. You can also subscribe to our newsletter and join our city-specific WhatsApp groups to get real-time updates about events in your area.

We provide comprehensive newcomer support including settlement assistance, networking opportunities, accommodation help, legal resources, career guidance, and connections to local Tamil community groups. Our volunteers help newcomers navigate the Canadian system and find their place in the community.

Most of our community events are free or offered at minimal cost to ensure accessibility for all community members. Some larger events or workshops may have a small registration fee to cover costs. We always strive to keep our events affordable and inclusive for everyone.

We welcome partnerships with businesses that share our vision of empowering the Tamil community. We offer sponsorship opportunities for events, business directory listings, networking opportunities, and promotional platforms. Contact our Fundraising and Sponsorship team for partnership opportunities.

Volunteer commitment is flexible and depends on your availability and chosen role. Some volunteers contribute a few hours monthly, while others are more actively involved in specific projects or events. We appreciate any level of contribution and work with your schedule to make volunteering manageable and enjoyable.

We love hearing ideas from our community! You can suggest events or initiatives by using our general contact form, reaching out to our Cultural & Event Management team, or contacting us directly at info@atcccanada.ca. We review all suggestions and work to implement ideas that align with our mission and community needs.
