Welcome to the official homepage of Bangladesh Cultural Society (BCS). Over the years, an increasing number of Bangladeshi students have joined the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton. We, therefore, felt the need to have an organization that would help new Bangladeshi students settle in comfortably and also bring the whole community together. Through this organization, we hope to promote Bangladeshi culture and values to the UNB community and the city of Fredericton.
