A New Vision. A New Approach

The BMS is a” dream come true” for the Malayalees of the City of Brampton and the surrounding areas. The city has grown beyond leaps and bounds in the past few years. The challenges and opportunities that the city offers have attracted a stream of new Malyalee families to the area. Now Brampton can boast itself to be the home of more Keralites than any other city in Canada. And the BMS is a natural evolution of this demographic reality and the desire of these residents to find solutions to their cultural and social needs and ambitions.

Brampton Malayalee Samajam is now three years young. Like any infant it has its own growing pains. But unlike many cultural organizations it has shown great strength and resilience for its age and has done some marvellous and prodigious things.
BMS is not just another Malayalee Samajam. We have a new vision and we believe in approaching the socio cultural issues of the community differently. Relatively the members of the Brampton community comprise of younger families with younger children. The recent migration has changed the composition of the community too. Malaylees are no longer the monolithic cultural group of direct migrants from the State of Kerala. The members of this community now speak different Indian and other languages. Having lived or brought up outside of Kerala before coming to Canada, have made our outlook different from that of the earlier settlers. These Socio- Cultural realities are being addressed at the BMS.

Our organization is very proud of its new approach in its role as a local cultural organizations. We believe a cultural organization draws it strength from its roots and not from the top.No organization can succeed with out the support of the members. We are hoping to reach out as many members of the community as possible . We are also seeking the support and encouragement from other Malayalee Organizations in the Greater Toronto area.

The current executive welcomes your ideas suggestions participation, and full cooperation in our activities.Please continue your support to BMS.Together we can reach the goal to build a great malayalee community in the city of Brampton.

Thank you
