WHO WE ARE

TESOC (Tamil Eelam Society of Canada), was registered in 1978 as a non-profit organization under the Ontario Corporations Act. Since its inception, it has been serving the community fulfilling its mandate of serving Tamil immigrants in their settlement and adaptation into Canada. In 2003, the society proudly celebrated its 25th Jubilee.

The society is governed by a BOARD OF DIRECTORS, consisting of 12 members of the community. These Directors are elected by the membership at the annual general meeting. As per the constitution, they serve in the board for two years. There are 29 staff members to serve the community under its various programs. In addition, more than 30 volunteers also help the society run its various programs and activities.

In its attempts to serve the community in all possible areas, the society is aided by the funds provided by Federal and Municipal governments. The society's main funders are the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the City of Toronto. On its own, the society provides SERVICES and conducts activities like workshops and seminars through fund raising and partnerships with other community agencies.
