Tina, also a senior and a retiree, volunteers her time to lead the group in dance numbers for different occasions. It is the yearly picnic of the Victoria Filipino Seniors’ Association (VFCSA). Those who arrived in the 1960s established the Victoria Filipino Canadian Association (VFCA) in 1969. Since its inception, the VFCSA has been a haven for senior members of the Filipino community in Victoria. In May, they joined the VFCA and other Filipino organizations in a parade celebrating Victoria Day, walking several kilometers and in costume.
