ASHAMA carries out various activities each year aimed at developing unity and solidarity within the community, while promoting Haitian culture.

The program of activities includes: Independence and New Year celebrations; Mothers Day ; Flag Day; the summer BBQ-Picnic; dance parties; round tables on immigration, integration, career choice; the gaming championship; participation in the Mosaïque du Grand Moncton festival; Saint John's Culture Fest; participation in the "Afro Culture from Here" festival.
