Celebrating Creole's Heritage
Our
Mission
Coalition Creole Ontario (CCO)—formerly known as DC & Associates—is now a proud registered non-profit, rooted in community and culture. Led by a passionate group of Creole individuals, we're here to celebrate who we are and support one another along the way.
Our mission is to uplift and promote Creole culture, encourage community connection and create opportunities for personal and professional growth. Based in Toronto, we’re all about building bridges—helping Creole individuals feel at home, thrive and shine.
At CCO, we’re committed to creating a positive space where our community can grow, connect and feel proud of its heritage wherever they may be within the Grand Toronto Area.
