About

Ottawa Telugu Association (OTA) is a Not-For-Profit / Non Profit social and cultural community association preserving & promoting the language & culture of Telugu people in and around Canada’s National Capital region – Ottawa, Gatineau and neighboring areas.At OTA we believe that the future of our Telugu community in Canada is not only about preserving and promoting our culture and language that have a rich heritage dating back to as far as 1500 BCE but also in enabling our community – the people of Telugu origin and their diaspora merge into Canadian multicultural society with deep roots of support, strong branches of help, lush green leaves, flowers and fruit as shining examples of the togetherness, remarkably warm hospitality and good nature that our culture and support brings into our lives.We organize cultural activities to train on and showcase our culture and language during major festivals.We encourage interest and activity groups through OTA Clubs to cultivate arts, skills, learning, sports and games into our community while coordinating and involving with other communities in Canada.We open up multiple avenues to provide information, guidance and assistance to new immigrants of Telugu origin helping them ease and/or accelerate their integration into the Canadian society.We develop long lasting relationships with the local businesses and enterprises by providing an open platform where organizations can engage with our community in meaningful ways and every family in our community would be an example of how we add add to the Canadian economic and social fabric.OTA regularly attends and supports events organized by other international non-profit organizations which results in a positive reinforcement of the open mindedness and global outlook of our culture. We understand that it is only by active participation that we can perpetuate the message of peace and unity that India and its deeply varied but strongly bonded together heritage & culture stand for.If you are not a member, please visit this link https://ottawatelugu.com/membership/ to renew/join.
