📍 Home2 Suites by Hilton Edmonton South

👥 Limited to 40 men only

This Black History Month, the TRIF Park and Walk Program invites 40 men into a powerful, intentional space to explore what it really means to carry responsibility, expectation, pressure—and still lead from within.

Carrying It All is a conversation about mental health, emotional resilience, identity, and internal leadership—rooted in Black history, lived experience, and the realities of men today.

This is not therapy.
This is not a lecture.
It’s honest dialogue, practical tools, and brotherhood.

What to Expect

🗣️ Panel Discussions – real conversations on mental health, strength, and leadership
🛠️ Interactive Workshops – practical strategies for emotional regulation, clarity, and growth
🎶 Music & Culture – grounding the experience in Black heritage
🍽️ Food & Refreshments – community built around the table
🤝 Connection – a room where men don’t have to perform, just show up

Who Should Attend

Black men and immigrant men navigating pressure, purpose, and responsibility

Fathers, professionals, leaders, and men in transition

Men who are “strong for everyone else” and need space to reflect and recharge

Men ready to lead themselves better, not just others

This gathering honours Black history by addressing a present-day truth:
strong men still need space to be human.
