About Us
Welcome to the Sarnia Malayalee Association (SMA), a vibrant community hub in Sarnia, Canada, dedicated to celebrating and preserving the rich tapestry of Malayalee culture. Founded as a non-profit, non-political, and secular forum, SMA is the gathering point for individuals who share a deep affinity for the customs and traditions of Kerala, a southern state in India. United by the native language of Malayalam, our diverse community transcends boundaries, operating with a commitment to inclusivity, embracing individuals without regard to gender, race, political affiliation, or religious differences.
Our Mission
At SMA, our core mission revolves around promoting and nurturing the essence of Malayalee heritage. We believe in creating an atmosphere that transcends geographical distances, connecting Malayalees in Sarnia and providing a platform for cultural exchange. Through a variety of events, programs, and initiatives, we aim to showcase the beauty of our heritage, fostering a sense of pride and belonging among our members. Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to Sarnia, SMA is your home away from home, where shared traditions and values create lasting bonds.
Our Vision
Our vision extends beyond cultural preservation; it’s about building bridges within the diverse fabric of Sarnia’s society. By fostering understanding and collaboration among different communities, SMA strives to contribute to the harmonious coexistence of cultures. Join us on this journey of cultural exploration, friendship, and community building as we weave the colorful threads of Malayalee heritage into the vibrant tapestry of Sarnia.
