Welcome to PGMA

Welcome to the Prince George Malayali Association (PGMA)! We are a vibrant and diverse community of individuals who trace our roots to the beautiful state of Kerala, India, also known as "God's Own Country."

Founded with the aim of fostering a sense of community and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Kerala, the PGMA serves as a home away from home for Malayalis. Additionally, we embrace and celebrate the other communities living in Prince George, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and mutual respect.

Our association brings together people from various walks of life, creating a close-knit family that celebrates and supports each other. Whether you are a newcomer or a long-time resident, PGMA offers a welcoming environment where you can connect with others, share your experiences, and build lasting friendships. At PGMA, we believe in the power of cultural diversity. We encourage our members to embrace and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our community. By participating in cultural events and festivals, we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the traditions and customs of our neighbors. Respect is a cornerstone of our association.
