Casa Canada Cuba will be Canada’s cultural headquarters in Cuba, housed in a dedicated Canada-Cuba cultural centre. Casa Canada Cuba will be located in the heart of Havana’s old city and UNESCO World Heritage site, La Habana Vieja – one of the most mesmerising historic city centres in the world. It will serve as the cultural headquarters for over 1 million Canadians who visit Cuba annually and for Cubans interested in learning more about Canadian culture. Casa Canada Cuba will be the primary venue to host and showcase Canada-Cuba cultural collaboration projects (music, dance, literature, visual and culinary arts).
Stay tuned for updates as we take this project from idea mode into reality!
