The Cultural Centre (the Centre) is the epicentre for the Greater Fredericton’s cultural community and non-profit groups. Located in the heart of Fredericton, the Centre offers flexible office, meeting and event space for cultural groups, non-profits and the businesses that support them.
The Fredericton region has had a growing multicultural community for years thanks to a thriving university and growing economy. The establishment of an intercultural centre has been the desire of the community since the early 1970s and lines up with the founding of the Multicultural Association of Fredericton (1974) and then the New Brunswick Multicultural Association (1983).
The desire to have a centre, which would bring together all cultures was envisioned as a location that would promote inclusiveness while also promoting the learning and appreciation of different cultures.
After years of hard work and collaboration amongst a number of groups, the dream of having an intercultural centre came to fruition in October 2011, when the Fredericton Intercultural Centre was established as an incorporated body. It cannot be overstated how important the role of all three levels of government - municipal, provincial and federal - played in making this happen.
With incorporation as a not-for-profit body, the Fredericton Intercultural Centre (FIC) was established
