Tanim Collective

🇵🇭🏡 Do you have friends, family members, or a significant other who are Filipino?!

🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 Don’t worry and learn the cultural expectations to prepare for a solid first impression!!

➡️ Facilitated by Ate Jeanne and Tita Luz 🥰

📍 Meet us THIS Thursday at Hamilton Public Library in Jackson Square

In the Tagalog language, Tanim primarily means plant or to plant something. 🌱🌿🌾🍃

We at Filipinas of HamOnt are excited to share the work rooted from the past five years and the name change to Tanim, embodying what we are currently doing and hope to be.

Tanim is a beginning. Tanim is investing. Tanim is the unseen growth of something that will surface one day. Tanim is loving, attentive care and gentle nurturing. Tanim Collective will continue the work and build on what FoH started.

Tanim Collective is a community focused on learning Filipino language, history and culture.

We are thankful for your time, energy, love and support and we are looking forward to this new journey.

We would like to thank McMaster Office of Community Engagment, SACHA and Hamilton Public Library. These organizations made it possible for Sadya to continue.


Team Tanim will be comprised of the same ates and titas.
- Ate Jennie, Ate Jess and Ate Jeanne!

As we plan 2026, let us know in the comments, what Filipino languages or topics are you interested in learning?
