Our Story

Our history shapes
our future

Descendants of African and Indigenous peoples forced from their homelands in Africville and across Nova Scotia, we carried our culture, strength, and hope to Ontario. Our resilience built communities, and our vision continues to build a future rooted in dignity, justice, and belonging.

We honour those who came before us by creating pathways for those who come after.
