WELCOME TO OUR SITE
Our Mission
To promote and preserve our Igbo culture, traditions and heritage, while encouraging a smooth cultural integration with other cultures in Canada.
The Owerri Zone Community in Toronto is a non-profit organization established by some Igbo indigenes from Owerri Senatorial Zone in Imo State, Nigeria, residing in Toronto, for the purpose of promoting unity, progress, information sharing, advocacy and cultural understanding amongst its members and the rest of the society.
The Creation of the Organization
The organization was created in the early 1990’sby a few people living in Toronto who came together
to perform a traditional mourning of a member’s parent who passed away. This show of solidarity and support of a member gave rise to the formalization of the group and it expanded rapidly to include all others from the Owerri Senatorial Zone as we know it today. It has transformed into a strong and vibrant and enviable community in Toronto Canada.
to show our rich and vibrant cultural heritage, the community holds a bi-annual event called the “Owerri-Day”, which attracts the greater community of Africans living in Greater Toronto Area and visitors from around the world.
