On August 9, 2025, the African Heritage Centre hosted the Summer Community Connect at Downsview United Church in North York. The event brought together families, youth, and leaders for a full day of connection, culture, and community spirit.
The morning kicked off with networking and warm introductions, creating a welcoming atmosphere for attendees. The afternoon featured interactive sessions, cultural highlights, and community activities, giving participants space to learn, share, and celebrate their heritage.
A key highlight was the two speaker segments, where inspiring voices shared powerful messages of resilience, empowerment, and growth. Their talks encouraged reflection and action, sparking meaningful conversations about building stronger, united communities.
The day closed on a celebratory note, with performances and social activities that captured the essence of togetherness. The 2025 Summer Community Connect reminded us all of the importance of unity, cultural pride, and collective progress.
