Our Team

Dedicated to Culture, Community, and Connection

At Ruksevana Cultural Association, our team is a collective of passionate volunteers, cultural advocates, and community leaders who share one purpose: to celebrate, preserve, and uplift Sri Lankan heritage within the Canadian mosaic.

We bring together diverse talents—from arts and education to community organizing and event leadership—to create meaningful programs that strengthen bonds across generations and cultures. Guided by compassion, collaboration, and cultural pride, our team works tirelessly to ensure that every initiative reflects the richness of Sri Lankan traditions while embracing the inclusivity of our Canadian home.

What We Stand For

• Cultural Preservation: We honour and promote Sri Lanka’s vibrant arts, customs, and values through festivals, workshops, and community events.
• Community Empowerment: We create welcoming spaces where individuals and families can connect, learn, and grow together.
• Cross‑Cultural Understanding: We build bridges between communities, fostering appreciation and unity through shared experiences.
• Service & Leadership: We believe in leading with heart—supporting seniors, youth, newcomers, and all who call our community home.

Our Commitment

Every member of our team contributes with dedication and purpose, inspired by the belief that culture thrives when people come together. Whether organizing major events like Lankan Fest, supporting seniors’ programs, or developing new cultural initiatives, we work as one family—driven by the spirit of service and the joy of community.
