About PLACA

Philippine Legacy and Cultural Alliance (PLACA) is an Ontario-registered non-profit organization founded in 2019 by a group of cultural-minded individuals, entrepreneurs, artists, and community advocates.

Projects and Initiatives

PLACA has launched projects such as the Government of Ontario-funded and highly successful virtual event All For One (AFO) in 2020 and 2021. In partnership with TFC (The Filipino Channel), AFO was a response to the government’s call for activities that supported communities amidst the pandemic lockdowns. All For One has now become an annual event celebrating Canada Multiculturalism Day every June 27.

Community Engagement

PLACA is proud of its passionate volunteer base and committed community partners. It constantly creates meaningful ways to engage members of the community to work well together and impress upon fairness, recognition, and inclusivity.
