The Organization

To build a strong, inclusive, vibrant, and sustainable community that provides support services and resources to enhance the well-being of Ghanaian-Canadians in Ontario.

The Project

The Ghanaian-Canadian Heritage and Resource Centre project is the core of the Ghanaian-Canadian community project to combine affordable housing with a resource center as one unique holistic model for our Ghanaian-Canadian community. The project intends to provide services for seniors, the disabled, women, families, and youth. The project is modeled after a community where our youth continue to lean on seniors for guidance, knowledge, and wisdom, and seniors, the disabled, and the vulnerable members of the community can draw on the strength of our youth.
