About Us

Malayalee Association of Sault Ste Marie is a community of people from an Indian state of Kerala who are migrated to Sault Ste Marie. We are committed to respond to the cultural and social needs of the Malayalee community and accordingly our programs are tailored to meet them. The idea of SMA is to bring together all Malayalees in Sault so that we all can stay connected and help each other. Malayalees started coming to Sault Ste Marie during 2016 and all of them were students who welcomed the newcomers with open hands. From just a handful of students , the numbers gradually increased and now we have families and more Malayalee students in Sault Ste Marie now. When the number of Malayalee community increased, the need for an official forum was felt. After much contemplation it was decided to register an Association were everyone feels welcome.
