National Townhall on Canada’s Black Justice Strategy

The Black Opportunity Fund (BOF) invites you to attend an important National Townhall to discuss the Steering Committee’s recommendations for Canada’s Black Justice Strategy, which are currently under consideration for implementation by the government. 

The event will include a presentation by Zilla Jones and Akwasi Owusu-Bempah, who will discuss their work on “A Roadmap for Transformative Change: Canada’s Black Justice Strategy,” covering the Steering Committee’s process, key recommendations, and anticipated government responses, followed by a Q&A session. This will be complemented by insights from a distinguished panel featuring Dr. Myrna Lashley, DeRico Symonds, Dunia Nur, and Craig Wellington, who will provide further discussions on the topic. 

We extend our gratitude to the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies, University of Toronto, and the CrimSl Research Cluster for the Study of Racism and Inequality for their generous sponsorship and support of this critical discussion on the Black Justice Strategy. 

This event will be hosted in-person and online.

The event is co-sponsored by the BRN.
