WELCOME TO ICA

ICA is open, and all classes are running.

In winter conditions, please use caution on icy or slippery roads and sidewalks, and allow a little extra travel time. We post any class cancelations or weather closure updates here by 7am.

The Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria (ICA) helps individuals and organizations to connect across cultures. We provide information, support and tools to help immigrants and refugees reach their goals. By engaging people through networks, education, employment, and arts programming we create a welcoming community.
