Our People

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.

Excellent feedback received after the Diwali 2024 event

TAM దీపావళి సంబరాలు *Programలో మేము పాల్గొనడం నాకు చాలా ఆనందం వేసింది. పిల్లలు చేసిన Dance లు పాటలు చాలా అద్భుతంగా ఉన్నాయి. పిల్లల్లో కాకుండా పెద్దవాళ్లు ఇంకా బాగా చేశారు👌 ముఖ్యంగా food super👍

Great Food: I usually don't pay attention to the food. This time I specifically liked the white plain rice, pappu, pachhadi, *pacchi-pulusu* and curds. Felt very homely. No need to go with fancy biryanis or some other flavored rice items.

Audience at Diwali-24
Free Parking: It was such a pleasant surprise to find out that Parking is FREE. I did not know. I actually inserted my credit card 3 times, and nothing happened. I just happened to lift my head and see the TAM Notice about free parking and even better park anywhere... even closer to auditorium instead of the farthest P7. I just checked the email that was sent on the day of event, bud did not see any mention any about FREE parking. Anyway, Thank you for your great idea and convincing Vanier college to allow you to do so. Hope you continue to do so in future also!
