Welcome to Hindu Cultural Soceity of Central Alberta

About us

Our organization was established in 2012 with the goal of building a place of worship or temple in the Red Deer area for the growing Hindu community in Central Alberta.

For over 40 years, Hindu families have settled in Central Alberta, but until recently, they have had to travel to either Calgary or Edmonton to fulfill their religious and cultural needs.

The Society was officially registered under the Alberta Societies Act on December 5, 2012 and has since obtained recognition as a Charitable Organization by the Federal government, which allows us to accept donations and provide tax-deductible receipts to donors.
In the past decade, our organization has made significant progress towards our goal of building a temple in the Red Deer area. We have been regularly gathering together on a monthly basis to perform pooja and sing bhajans at a community hall.
