SEIU-West's Workers of Colour Multicultural Mentorship Committee wants to celebrate May 25, Africa Day with you.
DYK:
- Africa is about three times bigger than Canada, covering 30.3 million square kilometers.
- There are 54 recognized countries in Africa with an estimated 1,500 to over 3,000 languages, representing about a third of the world's languages.
- Africa Day celebrates the founding of Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, which became the African Union (AU).
- This day is about African unity, liberation from colonialism, progress and a reflection of challenges still faced by African countries.
