Time for meaningful change
All Welcome Here
All Welcome Here is a BIPOC-led non-profit organization focusing on anti-racism in a consciously intersectional way in Prince Edward County, Ontario. (BIPOC: Black, Indigenous and People of Colour)
We strive to link people of colour in our rural community in order to provide social connections, business assistance, support and help in building that critical rural network.
We work in our wider community in anti-racist advocacy with a focus on education, access & representation, anti-racist actions and events, policing and migrant workers’ issues.

All Welcome Here is excited to offer a dynamic community discussion series this year – “How do we start talking about race? Creating welcoming communities.” These down-to-earth discussions will guide participants through education, personal experiences and wonderings.
The series launches on March 21st at 6:00 pm at Macaulay Church Museum to celebrate the International Day to Eliminate Racism (United Nations). We will have sessions in April, May, June, September, October & November.
