About Us

Founded in 2024

Our Story

Tan BC is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing together Tanzanians and those of Tanzanian heritage living in British Columbia, Canada. Founded on the principle that we are "Stronger Together," our community serves as a bridge connecting cultural heritage with new beginnings in Canada. Our journey began when a small group of Tanzanian expatriates recognized the need for a supportive network that could preserve our rich cultural traditions while helping community members thrive in their new home. Today, we've grown into a vibrant organization that celebrates our shared heritage while building meaningful connections throughout British Columbia.

We believe in standing together during times of need and celebration.

Cultural Preservation

Connection

We build bridges between generations, between Tanzania and Canada, and among community members.

Growth
