Kwanzaa 2024

Afrocentric Awareness Network of Peterborough (AANP) strives to raise awareness of the positive aspects of Black heritage and culture. It believes that self-education is the path to eliminating anti-Black racism and internalized racism. AANP is a nonprofit resource in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Admission to all of our events is free.

Some of you may remember that we started out as Afrocentric Awareness Network of the Kawarthas in 2007. We stopped running due to unforeseen circumstances, but are back better than ever with a focus on Peterborough.

We wholeheartedly thank the following for sponsoring AANP:
2025: United Way Peterborough, New Canadians Centre, Community Race Relations Committee, Peterborough and District Labour Council, Hi Ho Silver, CUPE 3908
2024: United Way Peterborough, OPIRG
2023: United Way Peterborough
2022: OPIRG, Silver Bean Café, New Canadians Centre, and Community Race Relations Committee.

We are also grateful for the Peterborough Public Library's support of Afrocentric Story Time on a monthly basis as of December, 2024.
