CCEIL

We kicked off Black History Month celebrations in collaboration with the Southern Alberta Afro-Canadian Association (SAACA) and CCEIL on February 7, 2026, with Mayor Hyggen joining us for the occasion. We had a great talk about CCEIL and are looking forward to what the future holds.

At CCEIL, we recognize that Black history is not confined to the past. It is living, evolving, and deeply connected to the experiences of Black newcomers, immigrants, refugees, and long-standing Black communities today. We acknowledge the importance of creating inclusive spaces where Black voices are heard, valued, and respected, and where equity, dignity, and opportunity are actively promoted.

This month invites us all to learn, listen, and engage in meaningful conversations about anti-Black racism, belonging, and social justice. It also challenges us to move beyond celebration toward action—by supporting equity-focused initiatives, amplifying Black voices, and working collectively to build stronger, more inclusive communities.

Huge thank you to all who attended our event over the weekend. Your dedication and support makes it easy. Big thank you to our speakers Cathy and Evans

Thanks to a grant from the New Horizons for Seniors Program, we shall be having a workshop on Scam Awareness and Digital literacy to help support our seniors and Newcomers.

Your support makes moments like these truly special.
