The Creole Community at a Glance

Creole is more than a language—it's a rich blend of cultures, histories and identities. The Creole community has roots in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and the Americas, shaped by generations of cultural exchange, migration and resilience.

Creole people are found all over the world, including in Haiti, Mauritius, Seychelles, Cape Verde, Louisiana and beyond. While each Creole culture is unique, they share a strong sense of community, creativity and pride in their heritage.

At Coalition Creole Ontario, we celebrate this diversity and work to keep our traditions alive through language, music, food and community connection. Creole is who we are—our past, our present and our future.
