Black-in-BC Symposium
The United Nations proclaimed 2015-2024 an International Decade for People of African Descent (IDPAD), recognizing that people of African descent represent a distinct group whose human rights must be promoted and protected everywhere(United Nations, 2021).
​The AACCCS Black- in-B.C. Action plan was initiated in works with the IDPAD; and will support the needs of Black communities in B.C. as dictated by the research held over the period of the B.C. Convener project from April 2021 - Feb 2022. Download the REPORT HERE https://www.issambacentre.ca/blackinbccommunityconvenerproject2021
As part of this year’s celebration, we are hosting a symposium on the milestones and progress made within the community over the last few years.
The Symposium discussion will be held with a spokesperson from AACCCS and a panel discussion that will give recommendations on the needs, accessibility, and opportunities related to Black communities in B.C.
We kindly invite you to join us in learning and celebrating the significant progress that our communities have made and also strategize together to increase these successes.
