The India Canada Association of Calgary referred to as INCA is a non-profit organization, which is committed to promoting and preserving the understanding of history, cultural and traditional values of the Indian sub-continent amongst all Indo-Canadians in Calgary. INCA also attempts to create avenues for sharing values with other cultural and ethnic groups in Calgary.

As an ‘umbrella’ organization of currently fifteen ethnic groups, INCA strives to represent them at provincial and federal governments as a unified force at various levels. The organization also creates opportunities for interacting with other ethnic organizations representing different parts of the world to generate greater understanding and good will. INCA is committed to the concept of multiculturalism. In all activities conducted, INCA upholds its most profound motto ‘ institution of excellence’ as the focus for constant improvement.
