About us

Have you ever wanted to meet people from different cultures, try new foods, discover unique events around Vancouver, or simply make a few new friends?

That's pretty much what we're about.

We're a community of students, young professionals, newcomers, families, entrepreneurs, and curious people who enjoy getting out of the house and experiencing something different.

Some of our members have lived in Vancouver their whole lives. Others arrived last month. Some come to network, some come for the food, and some just want an excuse to stop scrolling and meet real people.

Throughout the year, we organize cultural festivals, networking events, community gatherings, workshops, volunteer opportunities, food experiences, and social activities across Metro Vancouver.

You don't need to belong to any specific culture or community to join. You don't need experience. You don't need to know anyone.

Just bring an open mind.

If you're looking to meet interesting people, explore different cultures, learn something new, or become part of a welcoming community, we'd love to have you with us.

Our next big one is Passport to the World, a free multicultural food, music and culture festival on June 27, 2026 at the Nikkei Centre in Burnaby. Food from 15+ countries, live performances all day, local vendors, a job expo, and a $150+ prize draw. Come by, say hi, and see if it's your kind of thing.
