About SVGAO

The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Association of Ottawa (SVGAO) is a non-profit organization that operates in the National Capital Region and is mainly composed of members of the Vincentian Diaspora in Ottawa.

We partner with like-minded grassroots organizations in Canada to provide support to social programs in Canada.
