Join us in our efforts to rebuild the NCC/Charles H. Este Cultural Centre in Little Burgundy (Montreal, Canada). The mission of the NCC/Charles H. Este Cultural Centre is to establish and manage a community centrewhere workshops, athletic programs, theatre, art, music recreation and hobby can benefit the public at large.  These courses and programs, in the long run, will enlighten and affect everyone’s mental and physical situation in an extremely positive way.

The vision is that the NCC will again become a community and cultural venue and will lease out halls and offices to organizations in need of accommodation. Those leasing arrangements will cover building operating and maintenance costs over the long term. The organizations housed in the building will offer services and activities consistent with these principles:

Be inclusive, meaning welcoming to all without discrimination or inequity and in harmony with the residents, merchants and organizations in the Little Burgundy host community. The activities and services will be affordable and delivered in a safe environment.

Support the needs of target users, with primary emphasis on services and activities for young people and their families and for the elderly. Interrelated services and activities will provide for attracting all those for whom the building has strong symbolic significance, as well as the residents of Little Burgundy and St. Henri. The NCC is seeking to serve its host community and foster mutual assistance. Rather than duplicate services and activities that are already available, the NCC will propose that existing organizations having expertise and credibility in given areas of interest, provide those resources within the NCC building.

Promote Montreal's Black culture and history. The reopening of the NCC building for community uses will in itself mark recognition of the past, present and future contributions of Black citizens to the development of Montreal. Those contributions will be emphasized through educational mini-exhibitions, conferences, a specialized documentation centre, cultural activities and other means. Such activities promoting Black pride will also target the entire population of Greater Montreal.

Be an inviting, hospitable meeting place where people can congregate to celebrate special events or simply to socialize.

Encourage empowerment. The activities and services offered will give users the means to develop their skills, improve their living conditions and take charge of their future.
