Exploring home, community, and belonging for over 1 million arab canadians

About the project

Funded by the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), Roots will bring together Arab-Canadian youth from coast to coast to discuss what it means to be Arab, to be Canadian, and to build a stronger, more inclusive community for the future.

Through collaboration with six student clubs and associations in Halifax, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver, CAI will co-host local workshops on identity, belonging, and community leadership.

Knowledge and insights produced in each of these sessions will be compiled in a report for national dissemination. Amplifying the conversation about what unites us and how to move forward as a community.
