Muna De Ciman
Muna de Ciman, or “Aunty Muna” as she is lovingly known, has been a staple in Regina’s activism world since her family settled in Regina in the 90s, immigrating from Sierra Leone. She has been a source of strength and inspiration to newcomers and youth in Saskatchewan through her 19-year career with the Ministry of Justice as a youth facility worker and through volunteering her personal time. Muna supports youth who have come into contact with the justice system, serves on the boards of both the Saskatchewan African Canadian Heritage Museum and the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan, and acts as the union representative for workers of colour with the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour. She is always advocating for newcomers, helping people find work, homes, funds for education, and more to help families.
Wherever there is a way to create community, Muna is there, giving her time, wisdom, food, home, and more. Leading by example, she encourages others to join her in making Regina a wonderful place for all.
