Your Portuguese Directory
Here you will find a list of Portuguese non-profits such as clubs, associations, dance groups and more that make up the Portuguese communities throughout British Columbia. When possible, I included a link to each group’s website or Facebook page. If you do not see your group listed on this page, then please feel free to email me with details about your group and I’ll be happy to add it.
Because I am asked quite often about where to find Portuguese food, I have also included a list of bakeries, cafés, restaurants and more below. Please note that Portugal in Vancouver is not affiliated with or endorsing any of these businesses and/or companies.
