Welcome to the GCAD Foundation

THE GREAT CANADIAN AND AFRICAN DIASPORA FOUNDATION (GCADF)  is a registered non-profit, non political or governmental establishment founded:-

1. To help retired people of African and Caribbean decent.
2. To promote community advancement through the preservation of African rich cultural heritage.
3. To help foster stronger bi-lateral relationship between Canada and people of African and Caribbean decent. It is operated exclusively for relief of poverty through humanitarian and charitable endeavors.

Our initial effort is geared towards situating a modern COMMUNITY EVENT CENTER through our communal voluntary efforts supported by the governments of Canada and Ontario.

The primary purpose or objective of the corporation is to provide support and financial assistance for housing, to minimize homelessness caused by addiction. We particularly focus on indigent retired persons of African and Caribbean decent who do not have or receive moral and financial assistance from family. We assist such retirees and retired persons in planning their retirement objectives.

We achieve this by providing appropriate information, education and advisement; while taking into consideration their cultural, traditional, moral, and religious beliefs. We also help members to meet basic needs, prepare wills and make informed decisions regarding choosing to retire at a retirement home in Canada or in their birth or ancestral homes in Africa.
