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.
