The University of Calgary Filipino Students' Association (UCFSA) is a social club sanctioned by the Student's Union (U of C) in 1992. Our goal is to provide its members, as well as the community, with a taste of Filipino culture. Our motto is, "Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makarating sa paroroonan," which means He who does not look back to his roots will not reach his destination. With this in mind, the UCFSA strives to help its members realize the best aspects of being Filipino-Canadians, while engaging a variety of people and reaching out to the community.
