Mission statement

The annual event dubbed "Africa's Finest Night in Toronto" is produced by event organizers, African Heritage Association of Ontario - Afrihili. It is on this glamorous evening where the diverse cultures of Africa are showcased to herald the crowning of a Miss AfriCanada each year since 1999.

Preferably called African Heritage Pageant, Africa's Finest Night in Toronto brings on stage a variety of young beautiful African women for an educative and entertaining contest. However, based upon the fact that every woman has her own natural beauty, African Heritage Pageant sees beyond just the beauty of the individual young women. During the rehearsals the young ladies work on enhancing their poise, and self-confidence with our experts. Ultimately, it is the intelligence,
talent and courage of the young women that takes precedence over everything else on the night of the pageant.

Upon consideration that contestants are usually College and University students, Afrihili has adopted a policy that aims at supporting participants in the annual pageant with their academic pursuits. In the past therefore, prizes to winners has been in the form of educational grants and relevant materials.

At the top of our agenda has been the visit to Africa by our past queens. During such visits, the queens advocate for their campaign, which in some instances has been the fight against HIV/AIDS
in selected countries in Africa. The organizers of the show always ensure that the pageant is never a winner-takes-all affair.

Afrihili is a non-profit organization, in partnership with the charitable organization, "Vision 2000 Education and Health Organizaton". Our mission is to
promote child and youth education, and provide assistance to healthcare and educational institutions in developing countries. In addition, we create programs and activities such as
the Miss AfriCanada Pageant that encourages parents and guardians to invest in children's education as a means of promoting a healthy and prosperous society.
Afrihili, is always interested in volunteers to assist in the development of this unique program. Sponsorship for the various segments
of "Africa's Finest Night in Toronto" is also always welcome.
