Welcome...Akwaaba!
Welcome
to the official website of the Ghanaian
Union of Manitoba Inc.
(GUM).
Ghana,
is a west African country,
bounded on the north by Burkina Faso,
on the east by Togo, on the south by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the
west by Côte d'Ivoire. Formerly a British colony known as the
Gold
Coast, it was led to independence by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah on the 6th of
March, 1957. Ghana became the first black nation in sub-Saharan Africa
to achieve independence from colonial rule. The country is named after
the ancient empire of Ghana, from which the ancestors of the
inhabitants of the present country are thought to have migrated.
The Ghanaian Union of Manitoba
Inc. is a non-profit
organization that brings together Ghanaians residing in the province of
Manitoba, Canada.
We
hope you enjoy your visit.
