Woezo Africa officially launched their UNGANISHA Anti-Black Racism Commitment Project at the Werklund Centre on Monday. This six-month residency (January to June 2026) supports African, Caribbean, and Black youth aged 19 to 30 by building leadership skills, expanding professional networks, providing hands-on experience, and offering a $3,000 honorarium.

Calgary African Community Collective (CACC) has been named a 2025 Inclusion Award Recipient by the Immigrant Champions of Canada (ICC)!
This national recognition celebrates inclusive organizations making bold strides toward equity and systems change, especially here in Calgary. And what a proud milestone this is for our young but mighty collective.
At CACC, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is not about lowering the bar, it’s about removing the barriers that prevent people from rising to their full potential.
Until everyone has a fair chance, we haven’t truly seen the best yet. DEI means dismantling colonial systems that hold people back, so communities can thrive freely and fully.
This award reminds us that when purpose, community, and vision come together, transformation happens.
Thank you to our members, partners, funders, and everyone who continues to champion this mission with us. Together, we are building a more just and inclusive future for all.
