Foundation and Events

The Ga-Adangbe people, originating from the Greater Accra region of Ghana, have a storied past that traces back to ancient Israel. Their journey through Egypt, Nigeria, Togo, and Benin, before settling in Ghana, is a testament to their resilience and adaptability. Known for their rich cultural heritage, the Ga-Adangbe people have contributed significantly to various fields and have been instrumental in the founding of modern Ghana.
Established in the late 1980’s and re-established in 1998, GADAT has a rich history of community building and cultural preservation. The association was revitalized by visionary Ga-Adangbe individuals, led by Mr. Enoch Oblitey and Mrs. Hagar Oblitey, who recognized the need to unite and educate the Ga-Adangbe community in Toronto.
