About CVSA Today

CVSA connects Canadians and community-minded friends in Chapala, Jalisco, supporting meaningful volunteer involvement and practical ways to contribute to local life.

It was started by a Canadian veteran with the intention of establishing a Canadian Legion, but this was prohibited. Previously known as the Canadian Veteran Support Association, it included public servants from the federal and provincial governments.

We changed our name to the Canadian Volunteer Service Association to better reflect our inclusive spirit. Our doors are now open to anyone who wants to join our social activities, support our members, and serve the wider Chapala community.
