Pakistan Association of Canterbury New Zealand

As a representative body of local Pakistani community, PACNZ provides a forum to discuss issues of mutual importance. PACNZ regularly organises recreational activities and social gatherings to promote interaction and understanding among our community members. A dominant theme in our events is to help preserve and promote the culture, values and heritage of Pakistani community.

Through partnerships with community organisations, government agencies, and ethnic networks, the association continues to grow as a respected cultural voice—strengthening identity, supporting newcomers, and contributing to the social fabric of Aotearoa New Zealand.
