The Arpi Hamalian Fund honours Arpi's lifelong contribution to adult education and citizen participation in civil society. One of Arpi's top priorities is to ensure that everyone have an equal opportunity to bring their life experience to the dialogue. This commitment to equity recognizes that certain barriers must be removed to support the participation of under-represented groups. 

To that end, the Arpi Hamalian Fund will support efforts to make activities and programs organized by CKX accessible to people (including Indigenous peoples, people of colour and women) whose voices, lived experience and contributions are often pushed to the margins.
