The African Canadian Heritage Association (ACHA) has been providing African Caribbean heritage programming since 1969. The program features African history lessons, arts and crafts, and special events for students who range in age from 5-18 years of age. 

“In a time in which occupation and oppression of countries and peoples are immorally presented as necessary and even salvational, the principle of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) rejects this and reaffirms the right of persons and peoples to determine their own destiny and daily lives; to live in peace and security; and to flourish in freedom everywhere.”-Dr. Maulana Karenga

ACHA is excited to announce our collaboration with Woodgreen Community Services. “KUJICHAGULIA” will be the inspiring theme of our 2026-27 programming, kicking off with a vibrant community gathering called “UMOJA IN THE PARK.” This event is designed to be an intergenerational, family-friendly celebration that marks an important step in our ongoing journey towards building a shared vision for the future.
