Nigerians in Calgary Welcome Banffy

The city of Calgary came alive on Saturday, October 4, 2025, as the Nigerian Calgary Association of Canada (NCAC) hosted its much-anticipated Gala Night — an unforgettable evening of culture, pride, and unity held at the Seven Chiefs Sportsplex, Tsuut'ina Nation.

This year's celebration, themed "Rooted in Unity: Growing with Purpose," marked Nigeria's 65th Independence Day in grand style — blending heritage and modern expression through live performances, music, dance, fashion, and a taste of Nigeria's finest cuisine. From Afrobeat rhythms to laughter-filled moments, the night was electric — featuring powerhouse performances from Timaya, Reekado Banks, and the ever-entertaining Kenny Blaq, who all brought the crowd to their feet. The Gala once again proved why it remains one of Calgary's most beloved cultural events — bringing together Nigerians, Calgarians, and friends of the community to celebrate unity, identity, and shared purpose.

Amidst the color and excitement, Banffy was proud to be part of this milestone celebration. As a Calgary-based global payments and remittance company, Banffy's presence at the Gala highlighted its deep connection to the community it serves — one that transcends borders.

For Banffy, supporting the NCAC Gala wasn't just about branding — it was about celebrating culture, connection, and the people who inspire our mission. Just like the Gala theme, Banffy continues to be rooted in unity and growing with purpose — simplifying global payments, empowering families, and connecting people and businesses across borders.
