Kumilos Tayo! [Let's Act!]
Addressing Racism with
the Filipino Community
Kumilos Tayo!—which means taking action in Filipino is about fostering awareness, understanding, and concrete strategies for change to combat racism. This is an online resource platform featuring curated articles, videos, and links to organizations dedicated to anti-racism, providing accessible tools for ongoing education and advocacy.
The Filipino Spirit Shines Through
Over the last decade, the Filipino community in Edmonton and surrounding areas have seen a tremendous growth in numbers and diversity. Filipinos in the city have contributed to the economic vibrancy of the city through local businesses they have established in the city, recognition of Filipino art and culture, and most importantly their many talents and skills in the professional, not-for-profit and sports sector. The proliferation of Filipino organizations demonstrate their capacity for self-development and potential to participate in the civic life of the city.
EPIC is an aspiration of Filipino-Canadians in Edmonton to share their culture and heritage with all Canadians and to be part of a robust intercultural city.
