LMBCS | Lower Mainland Bengali Cultural Society

Lower Mainland Bengali Cultural Society of British Columbia, Canada, is a registered non-profit charitable organization promoting Bengali culture and heritage in Vancouver and lower mainland through various socio-cultural activities and events since 1977. LMBCS is a non political organization. We are proud to be a part of Canada’s multicultural society. We strive to foster and carry forward Bengali traditions and values along with other great traditions in the lower mainland area.

Bangla school classes take place every other Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. The school is intended for children between 5 and 12 years of age. Interested parents do not have to be LMBCS members to enrol their children.

LMBCS started a new multi-year project called Engaged Seniors with the goal of helping with seniors’ issues and keeping them engaged. This is done through an Employment and Social Development Canada grant called New Horizons Seniors Program (NHSP). The grant is administered by a Steering Committee of senior LMBCS members and a Seniors’ Program Coordinator (no age restrictions).
