The National Council of Canadian Tamils (NCCT) is a grassroots organization, composed of elected representatives from across Canada that serves to organize Tamil-Canadians on a democratic and cooperative basis.
 

We, Tamil-Canadians, recognizing the need to speak with one voice in asserting our legitimate needs and concerns, wish to express out support for one country-wide council whose basic aims will be as follows:

1. To organize Tamil-Canadians on a democratic, cooperative basis for Tamil-Canadian’ interests, and advancing the interests of the entire community;

2. To provide a common framework within which Tamil-Canadians can communicate, exchange information, and share expertise, skills and ideas;

3. To ensure the effective use and distribution of the resources of the Tamil-Canadian community;

4. To bring Tamil-Canadians together to discuss and co-operatively achieve necessary political, social, and economic change wherever decision-making affects Tamil-Canadians;

5. To facilitate co-operation among Tamil-Canadians in organizing services which supplement the political, social and economic experience, provide for human needs that develop a sense of community with our peers and with other members of society;

6. To articulate the desires of Tamil-Canadians to fulfill the duties and be accorded the rights of citizens in Canada, and in the international community; and

7. To achieve the goal of a system of political, social and economic coordination for the progressive development of the Tamil-Canadian community; and

8. To advocate and raise awareness on the principles articulated by the Tamil-Canadian community through the December 19, 2009 referendum reaffirming the validity of the 1976 Vaddukkoaddai Resolution.
