Our Vision

Vision: 

AfriCana Village & Museum vision is of a unique hybrid social enterprise tourism- based African-Canadian cultural heritage global destination and centre of excellence in Afri-centric arts, sciences and learning. A destination that leverages and showcases the rich heritage and diversity, cultural tapestry and warm hospitality of African-Canadians, African Diaspora and continental Africa to the Greater Toronto Area and Canada. 

AfriCana Village & Museum will be developed and operated through AfriCana Village Development Corporation, a for- profit social enterprise. Ten percent of annual profits will be distributed by AfriCana Village & Museum Foundation to African-Canadian community- based organizations for educational, cultural and economic development projects across Canada. We also intend to fund selected Caribbean and continental African social, cultural,  economic projects.  AfriCana Village & Museum Foundation will be the charitable and non- profit arm of the AfriCana Village Development Corporation.

AfriCana Village & Museum will bring hope, self-esteem, social development and economic vitality to the African-Caribbean- Canadian community in particular, and give substance and tangible meaning to the overall Canadian claim of a just and diverse society.
