We are proud to share that Umbrella Multicultural Health Co-op’s Executive Director, Zarghoona Wakil, was warmly welcomed by Hon. Minister Jennifer Whiteside at the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.

Minister Whiteside recognized Umbrella Co-op’s leadership and impact in advancing equitable, culturally safe, and community-driven health care for cultural communities and farm workers in B.C.

We are grateful for this acknowledgment and for the opportunity to see Umbella's vision and commitment celebrated at the provincial level.

On this day, our Executive Director joined the British Columbia Association for Community Health Centres (BCACHC) at the BC Legislature’s Lobby Day to advocate for the vital role of 38 Community Health Centres providing accessible and equitable care across the province.

We are deeply grateful for the incredible turnout at Umbrella Multicultural Health Co-op’s 15th Anniversary Celebration!

It was an honour to celebrate this milestone alongside community members, partner organizations, First Nations leaders, elected officials, including Hon. Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Labour, and Hon. Raj Chouhan, Speaker of the BC Legislative Assembly, as well as Umbrella’s founders, board members, and staff.

Together, we reflected on Umbrella’s journey from 2010 to today- beginning as a small cooperative to a vibrant community health centre providing primary care, mental health services, health promotion, and support for the social determinants of health while expanding our impact both locally and nationally through initiatives like the National Cultural Brokers Project, supporting and advocating for cultural brokers across Canada.

We were humbled to receive letters of appreciation from the BC Legislative Assembly, community partners, and the people we serve, reaffirming our shared commitment to advancing equitable, culturally safe care.

Here’s to the next chapter of collaboration, compassion, and community health!
