Edmonton’s African Communities Engagement Session

The community engagement for the African Multicultural Community Centre (AMCC) facility project aims to enhance the cultural, social, economic, and civic vibrancy of Edmonton communities of African descent. The project's cornerstone is a community centre set to be established at the former Wellington Junior High School site.

The community engagement process will play a critical role in this project, and the consulting team and the community leaders are integral to the success of this project, as they will play a pivotal role in facilitating communication, organizing events, and advocating for the community's interests.

In September's gentle golden glow, Autumn's whispers softly ow, Leaves of crimson, amber, and gold, In nature's tapestry, stories unfold.

The air turns crisp, a hint of chill, As summer's warmth begins to still, Harvest's bounty lls the land, In September's gentle, guiding hand.
