The idea of forming an association was first thought of in the fall of 1990 by Antonio and Erlinda Insigne after visiting a friend's mom who died suddenly. Erlinda thought that perhaps there should be an association in the community that could provide assistance for the Filipino-Canadians who needed help. So she shared the idea with one of her neighbors who in turn spoke with other neighbors. A meeting was held and thus the Filipino-Canadian Association of Vaughan(FCAV) was formed. 1, record 2, English, - Filipino%2DCanadian%20Association%20of%20Vaughan
