Background

Afghan Canadian Islamic Community (ACIC) is a non-profit charitable organization providing cultural, social and religious services.

ACIC began its activities as a small community association in 1989 in response to the growing need of Afghan immigrants for a place where they can practice their religious traditions and celebrate cultural ceremonies. Two years later, in 1992, the organization was officially registered with the Government of Canada.

​

ACIC currently provides services to about 1200 family and individual members as well as hundreds of non-members who participate and enjoy our programs and benefit from our services.

​

ACIC financially relies on membership fees and donations. It is governed by a Board of Directors, and runs with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
