About FCCM
About us
The Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham (FCCM) is a not‑for‑profit, volunteer‑led community organization dedicated to serving Chinese Canadians and enhancing cultural integration within Canadian society. Established in 1989 and formally incorporated in 1992, FCCM’s core mission is to support, unite, and empower Chinese Canadians while promoting cultural understanding across diverse communities.
FCCM works to foster connection, cultural pride, and social participation for people from all walks of life. Through community programs, cultural celebrations, educational activities, and recreational services, FCCM strengthens social bonds and celebrates the contributions of Chinese Canadians to the broader Canadian mosaic.
