About QTSA
QTSA is an AMS-ratified club at Queen's University in Kingston, founded in 2025.
Our mandate
“QTSA is the only dedicated platform at Queen's University for Turkish culture, language and heritage, existing to celebrate Turkish traditions and build a social community for Turkish students and those interested in Türkiye. The Club takes its spirit from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who placed his trust in young people and held that the truest guide in life is knowledge. It is secular, forward-looking, and open to every Queen's student who wishes to share in it.”QTSA Constitution, s.2.1
