OUR STORY · 협회 이야기

From a Small Community Initiative to British Columbia's Leading Korean Cultural Organization

Founded in 2001, the Korean Cultural Heritage Society began as a grassroots effort to connect the Korean community with the broader local community. Since hosting the first Korean Cultural Heritage Day Festival in 2002, the Society has grown into one of British Columbia’s most recognized Korean cultural organizations.

Today, our programs welcome tens of thousands of participants each year. We actively collaborate with local governments, public institutions, cultural organizations, and corporate partners to ensure that Korean culture is recognized as an integral part of Canada’s multicultural landscape.
