In addition to her work with the CMCCF, Florence also actively pursues her passions in the areas of women’s rights, community building, youth participation and general welfare of Immigrant families. She is the Coordinator for the Folklorama Africa Pavilion, a position she has maintained for over 10 years, and is the former Co-Chair of the Institute for International Women’s Right-Manitoba.
