The ICCC is an organisation dedicated to serving its members, the Indonesian-Canadian business community. They do this by providing regular information on business in Indonesia, by hosting events providing opportunities to learn about and discuss business in Indonesia and in Canada, and by representing the general interests of Canadian business to the Indonesian government. They also actively organise a number of social events to bring our members closer together.

Many of the members are Canadians doing business in Indonesia, but they also have members from around the world, including many from Indonesia. One of their most important aims is to be a “bridge”, either between representatives of various business interests or between business and government.

The Jakarta Players is a non-profit, multinational community theatre group that provides English language entertainment for Jakarta’s theatre-loving community. We donate all profits from our shows to charities that benefit Indonesian families in need.

You can join as a performer or volunteer.

With a skirl o’ the pipes and a swish o’ the kilt we urge you to dree oot the inch as ye hae done the span.
