Our Dream.
Over the years, Filipino cultural, heritage, and sports events have been constantly moving around to many temporary, available community centres in Halifax and neighbouring areas – this has always been tremendously challenging.
While we are primarily focused on the sports development, our ultimate dream is to have our own physical space where we can gather collectively as a community – a more permanent fixture. We hope to build our own Filipino Community Centre where we can be together to celebrate our unique Filipino heritage or laugh together. The beautiful spirit of Bayanihan as a powerful trait that highlights the Filipino generosity, sense of community, and our icon for unity is where we capitalize. We welcome sponsorships in any form, partnerships, and programs that will attract monetary supports from various stakeholders.
Become a pillar of this dream – here’s how to support us.
Our Identity.
Kabayan Sports League Association (KSLA) is a registered not-for-profit organization created and founded in Halifax, Nova Scotia on (month) 2023. KSLA aims to promote and advocate for active lifestyle in the Filipino community through organized sports competitions. The organization is built through the dreams and aspirations of Filipino community leaders with a deeper desire to create a long-lasting legacy for generations to come.
Our Story.
The impetus for the creation of the Kabayan Sports League Association is out of necessity to gather as Filipinos in Nova Scotia where we can celebrate each other, support each other, and united by our love for sports, fitness, and community well-being. We are driven and inspired by this need.
We as Filipinos have inherent interest in sports, we love to gather, we are competitive people, we love being challenged, but most of all, we love the feeling of winning. It runs in our Filipino veins to celebrate victories – small or big. This is where KSLA is focused on; we are grounded by this very reason – the value of community celebration and the joy of being together.
This is our story, and we want this to be your story to tell, too.
Our Purpose.
We strongly believe in the countless benefits of healthy, active lifestyle. Through the sports programs that we develop, we ascertain that we are a consistent advocate for wellness in our community. The KSLA plays that integral role as an association that is in the forefront ensuring that fun, fair, and safe sports events are delivered highlighting the competitive nature of Filipinos. We will organize sports events that are popular to Filipinos but will keep our ears open to navigate unpopular sports to the Filipinos.
