Rooted in Kashmir.
Growing together in Calgary.
Chinar Kashmir Community Foundation brings Kashmiri families together to preserve our heritage, support one another and build lasting bridges with the wider Canadian community.
About the Foundation
A home away from home for Calgary's Kashmiri families.
Founded in September 2013, CKCF is a non-profit, non-partisan society registered in Alberta. We foster community development, preserve Kashmiri identity and nurture meaningful social and cultural ties with other diaspora communities across Canada.
The foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, elected by our members.
