The African Canadian Culture Heritage Centre - Romeo D'Allaire comes to Winnipeg to support the centre





Romeo D'Allaire was in Winnipeg last night to support efforts to build an African Canadian Cultural Heritage Centre in Winnipeg. Senator D'Allaire was at his impassioned best - calling for a clear vision for Canada to take a leading role in helping to address crises like the one he experienced first hand when he was in Rwanda.

In the top photo, Senator D'Allaire thanks Dr. K.C. Asagawara, Master of Ceremonies and Vice-Chairman of the Committee to build the African Canadian Cultural Heritage Centre in Winnipeg for an African painting given to Senator D'Allaire by the committee. In the second photo, Romeo D'Allaire is with Mr. Akim Kambamba, Chairman of the Committee, and supporters of the centre. In the third photo, we were entertained with elegant Rwandan dancing.
