Let's celebrate the patron saint of Goa with our community!
Please join us for a beautiful mass, followed by music, dancing and a cultural show in the church hall. There will be many opportunities to win great raffle prizes. Contact any of the QGA committee members for additional information and tickets. Attention, all you young and young at heart! It's time to let loose and party at the “Night in Goa- Bollywood Style”.

It was forty years ago today, on July 17th 1977, the Quebec Goan Association was first established. Since then, we have come a long way and we have accomplished a lot. To celebrate this milestone, we are planning a special event on September 30th, 2017 at Buffet Il Gabbiano, 1550, rue Lapierre, Lasalle, Quebec H8N 2R2. We invite everyone to bring along your family and friends to kick start our celebrations in style as this will be an unforgettable event. Let me take this opportunity to thank each one of you who have contributed a great deal and worked very hard to keep this association afloat. Congratulations and a ‘’Happy 40th Anniversary’’. Let the celebrations begin! Finally, from here on, I wish nothing but the best for our association and I envision a great future. Yours sincerely, Blanche Da Costa QGA President |
