Many Kurds have left their home "Kurdistan" for different reasons, and today have spread out all over the world. A great number of Kurds live in North America, especially in Canada. Kurds in Canada, and more specifically in Toronto, have not had a centre to preserve and promote their unique culture and language. After numerous meeting, we have realized the importance of a Kurdish centre and have established "Kurdish House" in Toronto. This center, with your help, aims to achieve the following:

1. To support the struggle of the Kurdish people in attaining their right of self-determination.

2. To promote and preserve the Kurdish culture and its language by opening and maintaining a Kurdish language centre.

3. To work towards creating and broadcasting Kurdish programs using all means of mass media (TV, radio and the Internet).

4. To promote and support our peaceful culture by rejecting violence of any kind.

5. To support the rights of Kurdish women and to promote the prevention of violence towards Kurdish women and children.

6. To inform the mass media and human right organizations in Canada about the situation facing Kurds in Kurdistan.

7. To encourage communication with other cultural communities living in Canada and promote awareness of Kurdish aspirations.

8. "Kurdish House" welcomes all Kurds, from all parts of Kurdistan, with open arms and promotes unity among them.

9. "Kurdish House" in Toronto strives to reach out to all other communities’ mutual support and co-operation. .

To accomplish these goals we will need the support of all Kurds who live in Canada and specially those in The Greater Toronto Area. Together, with your support and participation, we can build a strong community. We look forward to your support and involvement in this establishment.
