The GCSM is a non-profit organization operating with the primary objective of preserving and promoting the Gujarati language, traditions, rich heritage and vibrant culture. With more than two thousand members, the GCSM has been actively involved in enhancing the understanding and friendship among all other communities in Manitoba.
