About Us
Empowering the Filipino-Canadian community, Filipinos Rising is dedicated to building a resilient and inclusive society. We aim to amplify the voice of community members and influence in shaping a fair and equitable Canada through advocacy, civic engagement, and leadership development.
We are on Indigenous land.
We acknowledge that Calgary, known traditionally as Moh’kinsstis, is on the ancestral lands of Treaty 7—the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Îyârhe Nakoda Nations, and the Tsuut’ina Nation—and is also within the Métis Nation homeland, home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 and 6. We honour the Traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders, past and present, and all Nations who have cared for, lived on, and built community in this place for generations. May this sacred land guide us toward truth, reconciliation, and gratitude to the peoples whose territory we call home.
