The Arts and Culture Council of the Canadian Tamil Youth Alliance (CTYA) will be hosting its first annual inter-university/college dance competition, “Thaalam” together with the Tamil Students Associations (TSA) from various colleges and universities in Canada. This competition will be taking place on June 19, 2011 at the John Bassett Theatre at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
The dance teams and TSAs through the Arts and Culture Council sought to allocate the funds generated from “Thaalam” towards initiating a youth recreation centre in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This decision was approved by CTYA members at the past Annual General Meeting. Over the years, the Tamil community has been contributing economically, socially and culturally to the greater Canadian society. As an aspiring community, the Tamil youth need a place to come together and practice their traditions and values and preserve their identity. Therefore the members of CTYA feel that a recreation centre for the youth is necessary, and are proud to initiate the first step towards a community center through “Thaalam”.
For further information, please feel free to contact CTYA’s Arts and Culture Council at arts.culture@ctya.org or 647-865-CTYA (2892).
