About us

Its goals are to develop a sense of belonging among immigrants, to promote the cultural heritage of Quebec City as well as that of immigrants, and to promote living together as members of their host society through socio-cultural activities. The originality and specificity of this project lies in the fact that the emphasis is placed on the role, contribution and positive contribution of immigrants to the development and influence of Quebec City

The project has been a resounding success from its launch in the summer of 2017 to the present day. Thanks to this project, Robinson got the 2019 Heritage Award from Quebec City in the Dissemination and Interpretation category. In addition, Robinson has been working since the fall of 2020 at the SNQC (Société nationale des québécoises et québécois de la capitale) as the coordinator of Quebec's national holiday and project manager of cultural events in the National Capital Region. The SNQC is an NPO whose mission is to promote Quebec through its language, history and cultural heritage. It is the organization that has the mandate to coordinate the Quebec National Holiday in the National Capital Region.

Through the cultural heritage of the city, in order to promote their contribution to Quebec society, to raise awareness of the positive contribution of Afro-Quebecers on the socio-cultural and political-economic level, because this contribution is very poorly known not only by the Black communities themselves but also by the host community, we will proceed with many activities including:

1) Research and inventory of Black people who have contributed to the emergence of Quebec City's cultural heritage in order to create a database that can be consulted via a Web and mobile application that will be created;

2) the enhancement of the Discover My City heritage tour: a tour of Old Quebec based on the role and contribution of immigrants to the influence of Quebec City;

3) the intercultural evening that highlights the rapprochement and intercultural understanding between the black communities and the host community;

4) the creation of a web and mobile application through which one will consult the lists of African Quebecers by sector of activity, having marvelously succeeded in their integration and impacted their society;

5) the design of a new heritage circuit involving all of the municipalities in the national capital, with particular emphasis on the various sites that have a remarkable link with the community of African descent in Quebec City and its municipalities.
