ABOUT
Our history
From the Ndé division in West Cameroon to the Greater Toronto Area.
OUR ROOTS
A culture that crosses oceans
The Medu-Nda’ Nda’ languages are spoken in the Ndé division, in the heart of Bamiléké country. They carry history, rites, dances and know-how passed down through generations.
Once settled in Canada, people from this region came together to preserve their identity, pass their languages on to their children and share their culture with their new community, in the spirit of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act.
