About Turkish Canadian Society of Edmonton

Turkish Canadian Society of Edmonton (TCS) was officially established in 1976 by a small number of Edmontonians of Turkish descent and their friends. Its original mission was to promote Turkey, Turkish culture and history to all Albertans. In time, as new immigrants arrived helping new immigrants and their families to successfully integrate in their new homeland became a supplementary mission for TCS.

Today, TCS organizes both cultural, religious and educational activities at its Community Centre. While those arriving from Turkey have become quite diverse over the years, and some of them started their own organizations, TCS strives to be the confederating entity in Edmonton, bringing all the representatives from different religious, ethnic or socio-economical background in unity for a variety of activities and services.
