"CHAFAHS has been a lifeline for my family since we moved to Vancouver Island. The support we received, from career coaching to cultural events, helped us settle into our new community with confidence.

"As a father, I’ve always wanted my kids to grow up knowing their roots and feeling proud of who they are. CHAFAHS has provided a safe space for my family to learn about our history, connect with others, and celebrate our culture. The Black History Month event last year was unforgettable—it brought our community together in such a meaningful way. Keep up the amazing work!"
