Built on dialogue, grown through solidarity.
From a small gathering of North Westerners in Toronto to a nationwide community this is our story.
A community takes shape
Founded as the Alliance of North Westerners in Toronto, the first gathering point for North West Cameroonians across Canada.
First Constitution adopted
In February, the Association formalized itself as an apolitical, development oriented body committed to member welfare and integration.
The Ndu Water Project
A flagship sponsorship reflecting our commitment to meaningful, people centered development back home.
Â
A home away from home
An executive team, a Njangi solidarity fund, and members across Canada carrying North West culture forward.

Unity, solidarity, progress.
The Association’s mission is to foster solidarity, empowerment, and mutual support among African-Canadian members, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs addressed. We are committed to creating a supportive network that encourages personal and professional development, enabling our members to thrive in their communities.
A model diaspora community.
The Cameroon Association of North westerners in Canada envision a vibrant community that actively promotes and preserves the rich cultural heritage, values, and traditions of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. We aim to celebrate our unique identity while fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect for diverse cultures.
