Our Story
Foundation
Calgary Mongolian Community Association is a community-based organization founded on the principles of collective participation and volunteer initiative.
The Beginning
During 2024–2025, collaboration among Mongolians in Calgary became increasingly active, with volunteer-driven community events being organized on a regular basis. These activities laid the foundation for the establishment of the association.
Early momentum
In 2024, G. Minjee initiated a Children's New Year Celebration initiative, which brought new energy and enthusiasm to community participation and engagement. These events were made possible through donations and support from Mongolians in Calgary, and remaining funds were carried forward to support future activities, creating an important foundation for sustainable community initiatives.
One of the first major donors was realtor Saraa.B. Also, Davaasuren B has been an active community contributor who played an important role in organizing and supporting various events and initiatives.
The Call for Unity

As a result, on March 14, 2026, the Calgary Mongolian Community Association was officially established with the participation of 75 members, marking an important milestone for unity and collaborative development among Mongolians in Calgary.
