The new Kayanou site brings our work together in one place. The full programs of SILAB 2026 in Edmonton and Calgary are on it, with every session and partner. So are our team and board, the Black Francophone heritage project and the GRIOTS app.
For the work ahead
We have a lot to do: gather more stories and archives from Black Francophone communities in Alberta, organize the next SILAB and launch an app. The site lets partners and schools see what we have already done, and lets volunteers and people with a story to tell reach us in one click. Whatever we publish next, from SILAB news to new stories, has a place on the site.
For understanding our mission
In a few pages, the site says what we do and why. We gather and share the history of Black Francophone communities in Alberta because every community has a history worth preserving, every culture has knowledge worth transmitting, and every voice deserves to be heard.
News about the GRIOTS app
Development work on the GRIOTS app has begun, and the app is set to launch by the end of 2026. It will bring the lives of notable people from our communities to young people through stories, portraits and a quiz game, AmaniQuest. Follow its progress on the GRIOT page.
