Eritrean Community Association in Vancouver
The Eritrean Community Association in Vancouver, founded in 1986, has a history of serving the Eritrean diaspora in British Columbia. Established by a group of Eritrean immigrants, the organization was created with a vision to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for Eritreans that have established themselves in the greater Vancouver area and to preserve the Eritrean cultural heritage.
