We are the Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Chinese Association,
the oldest Chinese Association in Christchurch. 

Canterbury NZCA is a non-profit community association founded by members who have migrated to New Zealand from China. Many members now have grandparents who were members.

The Association helps us to maintain our culture and introduce others to our culture. We also help to create a support network for all.

We have our own association hall located in central Christchurch.  This venue is used to organise many events.

Each year we hold many celebrations for members: Chinese New Year, Jung Festival, and Moon Cake Festival, along with an end of year Christmas event.

The Association hall is used for entertainment and lunch for these celebrations - provided by the volunteers for our members.

Another big annual event is the Easter Cultural and Sports Tournament.  Each year members from around New Zealand gather together for a sports competition along with social and cultural activities.

We also run many other events for the members of the association. We are the only Canterbury Chinese association that runs Cantonese Chinese Language lessons.
