They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Ben Franklin  

BACKGROUND

Khmer Youth Association of Alberta (KYAA) is a not-for-profitable and non-political affiliated association; and it bears no distinction of race, gender or religious faith. It was founded on May 4th, 1994 by Cambodian-Canadian Youth in Alberta who came to Canada for both education and refugee. The Cambodian people mostly migrated here during the civil war 1970-1988. Their resettlement in Alberta has significantly enriched multicultural society and contributed to building healthier community in Canada.
