Cedar Whispers

Cedar Whispers is a non-profit, non-political, and non-biased digital home for the Lebanese-Canadian community in Nova Scotia and potentially to all of Canada.
Our mission is to raise the voice of Lebanon while embracing the values of our Canadian home: unity, diversity, respect, and compassion. We aim to create a space where Lebanese-Canadians, newcomers and long-settled, meet, collaborate, and celebrate their shared identity.
Cedar Whispers is a virtual Lebanon, a Lebanese agora, that grows in Canadian soil while carrying the spirit of the cedar across generations.

Our Purpose

We seek to build a living bridge between Lebanon and Canada.
Cedar Whispers exists to remind every Lebanese-Canadian that belonging can have two roots and one heart.

Our Name

The cedar whispers softly but powerfully of endurance, memory, and hope.
Its voice travels across mountains and oceans, reminding us of who we are and how far we have come.
At Cedar Whispers, we listen to that voice and carry it forward so that future generations will too.
