It was a pleasure to join community leaders and members of the Ottawa Black Coalition @InfoOBC at the ACB Wellness & Resource Centre in Ottawa. Thank you for highlighting the vital programs, services, and supports that strengthen our communities and promote inclusivity across Ontario.

Happy #CanadaDay
As we celebrate, we reflect.

Canada’s strength lies in its diversity.
Let’s keep pushing for a country where equity, justice & representation are not just ideals, but realities.

What does HOME mean to you?

A stable home is more than just shelter, it’s safety, dignity, and healing. For many Black families, housing insecurity brings chronic stress and instability. That’s why OBC advocates for homes that heal, not harm.

Let’s hear your thoughts on this.
