Public Appeal

Sanatan Mandir Cultural Society is a charity, serving the east Indian community of Fort McMurray in northern Alberta, Canada.

This is the largest east Indian community, farthest from their motherland, just near to the North Pole! Here, the mother nature unfolds her scintillating light show (Aurora Borealis) during winter, when the mercury dips down to minus 45 degrees. It is the lifelong ambition of over 700 Indian families to build a Mandir, for the last two decades.

The Society was primarily formed to take up the cause of building a cultural centre in Fort McMurray and was formally incorporated with Government of Alberta on March 15, 2010.

It is our vision to provide spiritual, cultural and social services in Fort McMurray and the surrounding area. The Society promotes the understanding of ethical, social, religious and philosophical foundations and practices of Hinduism and other Indian origin religions. The Society fosters a spirit of dedication and devotion to 'Sanatan Dharm' values as suited to modern times.

The Society is a registered charity with the province of Alberta. The Federal recognition came through the 'Revenue Canada' on November 3rd 2010. All donations to the Mandir are fully tax exempt.
