About Our Association

A legacy of culture, community, and solidarity since 1980.

Our Roots

A History of Dedicated Service

The Tekeyan Armenian Cultural Association of Vancouver is a registered non-profit dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Armenian culture, language, and the arts within British Columbia.

Named after Vahan Tekeyan — the revered “Prince of Armenian Poets” — our association was founded on the belief that culture is the strongest bond connecting the Armenian diaspora to its ancestral roots.

The Vancouver chapter has served as a vibrant hub since 1980, fostering a sense of belonging through educational programs, social gatherings, and cultural advocacy.
