It is all about inclusion & togetherness
Both inclusion and togetherness are extraordinarily displayed in the picture taken at our Summer picnic. Many parents were visiting during this season, and having a well-organized picnic gave them much-needed familiarity. Our culture, our language, and our people are our pride.
Telugu Association of Montreal (well known as TAM) is a people-organized entity with a set of bylaws, guidelines, and self-governance to help promote everything Telugu-related in the region.
