Since its inception in 1992, a group of visionary business owners envisioned the idea to create a platform through which they can help and facilitate in promoting Indo-Canadian Business Community. As a result the Indo-Canadian Business Association (Surrey\/Delta) came into existence as a registered society.<\/h2><\/h1><\/span>

In 1997 ICBA started the scholarship program known as the Achievement Awards\u201d. To date, the association has raised and distributed over $300,000 in scholarship funds. We are proud to acknowledge the association for raising $25,000 in less than an hour at one of our past events for the special needs category of the awards. The proceeds of this was awarded entirely to an a autistic child for his 2 year course at Kwantlen University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
