About Us

The concept of a Canadian Institute for People of African Descent (CIPAD) was envisioned as an opportunity for African/Black Canadians to work together to identify and achieve consensus on a number of priorities. These priorities include infrastructure, health, education, justice, governance, regional collaboration, accountability and economic empowerment.
