About us
Who we are
We are a group of Tigrayan Canadians from various Tigrayan Communities across Canada.
The Association of Tigrayan Communities in Canada (ATCC) was founded in June 2020 to unite Tigrayan communities across Canada. These communities are established to cater for the social, economic, spiritual, and well-being needs of their members who are mostly first generation immigrants to Canada, with many challenges they have to overcome in order to survive and thrive in Canada. Moreover, the majority of our members are deeply connected to their Tigrayan roots and whatever happens (good or bad) in Tigray affects our members in Canada.
Most members feel morally obligated to help Tigray and their families in Tigray in all aspects necessary, i.e. economically, diplomatically, in technology/knowledge transfer, image building as well as psycho-socially. Especially in light of current developments where Tigray is being ravaged by war the effects of which will be felt for many years to come, it is deemed necessary that our Tigrayans Communities work together to amplify our efforts, advocate for our people and contribute towards the relief and rehabilitation of Tigray and its people.
Our approach
Our Purpose
Our organization's goals are as outlined below:
- Carrying out advocacy and public relation works for our communities (and their members in Canada) and anywhere else in the world (particularly in Ethiopia)
- Support Tigray’s development economically, technologically, socially and diplomatically.
- Strengthening our respective communities to economically, socially, and psychologically, and share experiences among our communities to achieve this goal
- Preserve and promote Tigrayan culture, values, tradition and arts, and pass it on to our youth.
- Strengthening the unity of Tigrayans within their respective communities and across Canada
Our Vision
We want to build a strong Tigrayan Community that is dedicated to the development of Tigray.
Our entire community hopes to see a strong and thriving Tigray where its people are economically, socially, and psychologically empowered.
