You often hear it takes a village to build a community. For a group of continental Africans in Ontario, they’re working on a housing project that will create a unique, affordable and supportive African-styled village designed to support the African-Canadian community.
Funded by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Société canadienne d’hypothèques et de logement(SCHL), and led by the Rwandan Canadian Healing Centre - RCHC, this group of African community organizations are making history happen. CBC attended the press conference and Brad Bradford, Toronto’s Chair, Planning and Housing Committee, provided perspective on why culturally-informed housing is so critical. The story below - which can be switched for English readers - just captures part of the energy in the room.
DAYO Media & Communications is the proud media and communications partners for this announcement. Check out our video, release and backgrounder - found at www.dayo.ca/rchc - for more on how this project will develop.
We appreciate Kizito Bijyinama Musabimana and his team for taking our advice along the way, and entrusting us to share this story. Like the rest of Canada, we’re looking forward to seeing this project come to life!
