About Us
Organizations History
The Council of Caribbean Organizations of Manitoba (CCOM) was established in 1981 to serve as a unified voice for the Caribbean community in Manitoba, Canada. The organization was founded by a group of individuals who recognized the need to promote Caribbean culture and address the unique challenges faced by Caribbean Canadians in the province of Manitoba.
Since its inception, CCOM has played a vital role in advancing the interests of the Caribbean community in Manitoba. The organization has worked to provide a wide range of services and support for its members, including educational workshops, cultural events, and community outreach.
Over the years, CCOM has grown to become a prominent community organization in Manitoba, with a diverse membership representing various Caribbean countries and cultures. Today, CCOM continues to serve as a vital resource for the Caribbean community in Manitoba, helping to build bridges across cultures and promoting a deeper understanding of Caribbean culture and heritage.
