In Canada
Outside of the Philippines, the Dindin Scholars Fund hosts events and activities that focus on community-building, integration, and cultural communication.
Initiatives
Community Tours
Seasonal tours are organized around Ontario for new Canadians being introduced to their new home, for longtime residents to (re)discover hidden gems, or for anyone looking to have a fun day exploring.
Previous tours include Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Peterborough, and Northumberland Country.
Sporting Events
Annual tournaments bring community members together, most notably in our eight week long basketball season - the Philippines' favourite sport. From custom jerseys, opening ceremonies that have previously included the mayor, halftime performances, and an All-Star Game (featuring players' partners and kids), our sports season becomes much more than just an athletic competition.
Filipino and Friends Christmas Party
Christmas is massively important in Filipino culture, with the holiday season officially kicking off on September 1st. Community members, both Filipino and non-Filipino alike, are invited to join our annual Christmas party with dinner and dancing to see for themselves how we fit three months worth of holiday cheer into a single unforgettable night.
