OUR VISION

Canada has attracted people in search of a share of a dream from all corners of the world. Since Canada is known for its immigration history, the Canadian society has often been described as a “cultural mosaic”. Composed of citizens from all over the world including Turkey (Anatolia) in Canada as a part of its cultural mosaic. Anatolia is a region which has a legacy of ages that gave birth to today’s many great civilizations: Hittites, Lydians, Persians, Greeks, Romans,Byzantine, Seljuks, Ottomans and modern Turkey just to name a few.
