BONGO PORIBAR SOCIOCULTURAL ASSOCIATION
GREATER TORONTO AREA
Bongo Poribar is a registered non-profit sociocultural association which provides a platform and an opportunity for the Canadians to contribute and enjoy the diversity and richness of different cultures.
What we do
Religious and Spiritual Gatherings
Bongo Poribar brings members of the community together to observe, teach and celebrate Bengali Hindu and Sanatan traditions through Puja, worship, devotional activities and community gatherings. Our religious observances are open to public.
Community Support
Giving back to the broader community is an important part of Bongo Poribar. Through our volunteers and community partnerships, we support initiatives that assist individuals and families in need, including the collection and distribution of food and other basic necessities.
Arts, Culture and Heritage
Bongo Poribar promotes appreciation of Bengali and South Asian culture and heritage through music, dance, art, drama, recitation and other cultural performances. We particularly encourage youth and emerging performers to share their talents with the wider community.
Who we are
Dated back in 2010 a group of families gathered to brainstorm on how to connect to the multicultural society of Canada and contribute to its diversity. We noticed though we had many small cultural groups in our society but there was none that represented all multicultural community as a whole. The result was the birth of Bongo Poribar with a band of selfless workers and a host of well-wishers. The overwhelming response and the affection showered upon us by our patrons and friends from all over Greater Toronto Area and around have provided us the impetus to grow our dreams and pursuits year after year.
