Inclusion
Pan African Legacy is a cross-community service organization that offers an integrated African wellness program built around the concept of village-hood providing a home-away-from-home for Africans in Manitoba and Canada at large and giving a taste of Africa to other non—African members of our community. We work cross-culturally with all age groups and backgrounds with the aim of promoting a positive embracing of diversity and understanding of African culture and traditions as well as other cultures within the
Canadian communities.
Our Commitment
PAL is a destination of cultural knowledge creation by providing opportunities for creative and artistic cultural expression and empowerment of the communities we support.
At PAL the staff, participants and volunteers together build an inclusive community that contrasts social exclusion, isolation, and depression that many people in our community may be experiencing due to challenges brought by the effects of settling in a new environment as well as COVID-19. It is dedicated to helping people of different cultural ancestry preserve and share information about their history, appreciate their heritage and recognize the contributions they can individually and collectively make. PAL endeavors to raise public
awareness of the role diverse people can develop the province and Canada at large as responsible community and active citizens.
