Marzia Adeb | Program Participant

27. October, 2026.

“As someone who uses a walker, I was nervous about joining the outdoor trip, but the team made sure I had the support I needed every step of the way. The halal refreshments were thoughtful and delicious. My daughter Eva and I appreciated how organized everything was, from the bus pickup to the gentle pace of the walk. I felt respected and included. Thank you for making space for all of us.”

Kehinde Aberuagba | Program Participant

27. October, 2026.

“I registered for both the wellness program and the Wanuskewin trip, and I’m so glad I did. The storytelling circle over tea was my favourite part — it felt like being surrounded by family. The staff were patient when I needed to take the outdoor walk at a slower pace. My daughter Oyindamola helped me sign up, and now she’s telling her friends about it. This program truly cares about seniors.”

Withney Robertson-Williams | Sankofa Participant

27. October, 2026.

“The Sankofa Program has been more than just a training experience for me. It has been a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and professional development… I will carry the lessons, confidence, and connections I have gained through this program with me as I continue my journey in Canada.”

Anonymous Parent 2 | Black Legal Clinic

27. October, 2026.

“Thank you for helping my son. You helped us access interpretation when communicating with the lawyer and explained the court process. I appreciate the support whenever I called and your presence at court.”

Anonymous Parent 1 | Black Legal Clinic

27. October, 2026.

“When my family and I came to TAYFFI, we did not understand what was happening with our son, his lawyer, or the court process. The Black Legal Clinic helped us understand the process better and provided explanations whenever we attended court.”

Jing Chen | Parent of a Participant

27. October, 2026.

“Thank you so much for your hard work, care, and thoughtful planning throughout the summer. My daughter had a wonderful time at Blooming Buds. She learned many new things, made new friends, and came home happy and excited every day. We are grateful for the fun, meaningful, and welcoming environment you created for the children. You made her summer memorable, and we would love for her to join future programs and events.”

Hien Tran | Parent of a Participant

27. October, 2026.

“Vy and I really enjoyed the summer camp. She learned a lot from the class and still talks about it. Thank you for creating these meaningful learning opportunities!”

Tina Adesina | Parent of a Volunteer

27. October, 2026.

“Thank you for the wonderful opportunity for my daughter, Torera, to serve on the summer camp team. She enjoyed the experience, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who helped make it meaningful. A heartfelt thank you to TAYFFI’s staff, leadership, and management for your dedication, excellent organization, and continued efforts to create valuable experiences for children and young people.”

Dadochukwu Chukwuanukwu | Volunteer

27. October, 2026.

“Volunteering with Truly Alive Youth and Family Foundation Inc. (TAYFFI) has been a defining experience in my undergraduate journey. Representing TAYFFI at the Make Your Mark conference in Toronto, attending the NoTimeToWait conference, and participating in the youth leadership trip to the Legislative Building in Regina contributed significantly to my personal and professional growth. These experiences connected me with mentors and delegates from across Canada and gave me new perspectives on leadership and civic action. TAYFFI continues to challenge me to step outside my comfort zone, develop my leadership abilities, and build meaningful community connections.”

Fiyin | Voices to Action Participant

27. October, 2026.

“The Voices to Action program was a very meaningful experience for me. Meeting and engaging directly with the Mayor and City Councillors gave me access to spaces and conversations that had previously felt outside my reach. As a Black person in the community, those connections were particularly impactful. The program encouraged me to think more critically about issues affecting our communities, strengthened my interest in civic engagement, and gave me greater confidence to contribute to community conversations. It also encouraged me to pursue opportunities such as the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Committee (DEIAC) in Saskatoon.”
