BLACKNORTH INITIATIVE

Mission Statement

We are committed to the removal of anti-Black systemic barriers negatively affecting the lives of Black Canadians.

About This Cause

The BlackNorth Initiative is a not-for-profit organization created to remove the anti-Black systemic barriers negatively affecting the lives of Black Canadians. As a first step, we challenged senior leaders from all Canadian companies and organizations–both from the public and private sector–to commit their companies to specific actions and targets designed to end anti-Black systemic racism and, by extension create opportunities for all of those in the underrepresented BIPOC community. To date, we have 500 organizations that have made the commitment. Corporate Canada was bold enough to take up the challenge to add gender diversity to Canadian boardrooms and executive suites by declaring policies, setting specific targets, and holding itself accountable and is now well on the way to reforming the system. NOW IT IS TIME TO DO THE SAME THING FOR BLACK CANADIANS.
