In order to examine whether ethnic associations can help immigrants maintain their cultural identity, while adjusting to the new soical environment, field work was conducted at a specific Sicilian-Canadian association. This paper suggests that the association does, directly or indirectly, fulfill both functions. Various examples are provided, and briefly discussed, to illustrate this point.
