International Meetings of the African Diaspora

Our Commitment to the Diaspora

The launch of this flagship event, IMAD (International Meetings of the African Diaspora), marks a new era of strategic mobilization for the African diaspora in Canada and internationally.

Organized by the African Federation and Associations of Canada (AFAC), this first edition aims to be a catalyst for opportunities, meaningful collaborations, and forward-looking dialogue.

AFAC, the African federation and associations of Canada, has thousands of supporters across the country, embodying the richness and diversity of our African cultures, as well as our collective will to build a strong, inclusive and united community.

AFAC positions itself today not as a competitor to its members, but as a catalyst and an ally.

Our mission is to federate, support and valorize existing forces.

We believe that by combining our talents, our experiences and our visions, we will be able to meet the challenges we face and fully secure the opportunities available to us.
