Canadian Indo Caribbean Association

The Canadian Indo Caribbean Association (CICA) was formed in 1990 to serve the Hamilton and surrounding areas. CICA is a non-profit association which brings together individuals and families of Indo-Caribbean origin and provides them with opportunities for social, cultural and religious expressions, enhances the education of members on their history and gives support to those new to Canada.

To encourage youths in their quests to achieve excellence, CICA offers annually academic scholarships and sport awards.  Based on their performances on courses taken at the secondary and elementary levels, scholarships are awarded to the top students for excellence in academic studies and school sport program. 

CICA’s programs span a wide cross-section of cultural activities.  Programs include activities for Divali, Phagwah, Eid, Christmas, Musicals at the Hamilton Spectator Auditorium twice a year and a fantastic family picnic in a private fifty acre park every year.  The executive body meets on the first Friday of each month usually at the head office, 53 Mountain Avenue South, Stoney Creek, Ontario, L8G 2V7.
