Bengali Association of Calgary (BAC) is a premier non-profit community organization, founded in 1978 by and for the people with an interest in the language, literature, culture and heritage of Bengal.

Our growing membership of over 330 families from Calgary and other parts of southern Alberta at large represents a well-educated, very established and highly successful cross- section of expatriates from West Bengal and various other parts of India and Bangladesh.

For over 30 years now, we have represented the Bengali community of Calgary. Our mission is to promote a harmonious blend of our diverse culture and rich values with today’s hi-tech, fast-paced, success-driven way of life-with a view to nurturing well-balanced, exemplary new generations who will continue to be role models and enrich the world in greater measure. Our fundamental objectives are:

• To organize cultural events, religious functions and social activities which provide exposure to the culture, heritage and traditions of Bengal.

We are committed to sustaining and promoting our culture and heritage, supporting the society we live in and reinforcing our future generation with meaningful values. We strive to keep our rich culture and heritage alive through various religious events, social and educational activities and cultural programs throughout the year.

• We renew our festive spirits, following true Bengali traditions-our celebrations of Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Saraswati Puja are attended in large numbers.
• We attempt to bring the community together and keep them actively involved in various social events throughout the year-whether it is the Bengali New Year, our summer picnic gala, or the year-end dine-n-dance party.
• We have consistently been among the most culturally active cities in the Alberta, hosting popular artists from India, Bangladesh and North America and presenting high-quality cultural programs by local talents of all ages.

The first and foremost Bengali Association of Calgary (BAC), we have repeatedly strived to overcome divisive forces and keep the Bengali community together as part of our unfailing charter for over two decades. In response to the local Bengali community’s desire for a “home of their own” we have recently stepped up with our “KALI BARI and VEDANTA CENTER” initiative and reached out to all community members to come together and join us in making this dream come true.
