Organizer
The Philippine Independence Day Council (“PIDC”) is a non-profit umbrella organization of hundreds of Filipino-Canadian provincial, regional, professional, cultural and social organizations. PIDC is mainly tasked with the celebration of Philippine Independence Day with numerous activities throughout the year that bring together the third largest minority group in Canada.
PIDC began as a committee whose chair was elected annually by representatives of various Filipino-Canadian associations. To ensure smooth transition and provide continuity in its activities, PIDC was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1997.
PIDC is also a member of the Canadian Multicultural Council of Asians in Ontario (“CMC”) and Festivals and Events Ontario (“FEO”).
