– Pete Sheffield, Enbridge's Chief Sustainability Officer

The live stream is an opportunity for the public to take part in a suite of sessions, to hear the presenters and interact with panelists at the Summit. The three-day live stream program will showcase the Opening ceremony, youth-focused workshops, keynote addresses, roundtable discussions and the Halifax Declaration.

Not only is Enbridge our NBCS Live Streaming partner offering a custom-designed interactive platform, the company will also introduce a session on Day 2 at the Summit entitled Blacks in Science and Tech, a much-anticipated panel highlighting the interests and successes of Black professionals and students. Many industry professionals will reflect on how to dismantle barriers, through reflections on their lived experience.

Access to the entire live stream summit costs $45 with complementary modules to enhance the online experience. Be a part of the Summit movement - register at:  https://www.blackcanadiansummit.ca/.

"The Summit provides a valuable opportunity to share even sensitive issues. This brave and safe space where Black communities will come to share their stories and do so with a concern for truth is a powerful circle of speech, pride, awareness and mobilization. We have come a long way, but there is still a long way to go."

– The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean

With the Halifax Declaration, at the birthplace of Black presence in Canada, all delegates will want to bear witness to the perspectives and expectations of Black communities, challenging the status quo, a legacy of colonial and racist policies which have been harmful to historically excluded and marginalized peoples. We join our spirits and voices to proclaim and share our collective history and to demand action toward a truly just and equitable Canada. Our Summit being under the auspices the International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) – Recognition, Justice and Development proclaimed by the United Nations, Dr Natalia Kanem, the United Nations Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN Population Fund, is eager to participate with an entire UN delegation to attest the major mobilization in Canada for the eradication of systemic racial discrimination.

The National Black Canadians Summit would not be realized without the tremendous support of many partners. The Foundation is deeply grateful to its presenting sponsor, TD Bank Group through its TD Ready Commitment. We also thank our valued partners: Enbridge, Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation, African Nova Scotian Affairs and the province of Nova Scotia, Canadian Commission for UNESCO, Export Development Canada, Majda International, Canadian Race Relations Foundation, Sobeys, Dream Legacy Foundation. The Foundation is also thanking its precious allies,  the Federation of Black Canadians, the Canadian Race Relations Council, the City of Halifax, Canada Council for the Arts, Definity, Black Business Initiative and the Delmore "Buddy" Day Learning Institute. We would also like to acknowledge the generous personal contributions of Robert and Maria Peck, as well as that of John Beck, our "Youth Champion Delegate", who is sponsoring the participation of 400 youth at the Summit. The Foundation thanks CBC/Radio-Canada, the national public broadcaster, as the 2022 Summit media partner.

About the Foundation

The Michaëlle Jean Foundation was born out of the actions taken to focus specifically on youth-led civic initiatives across Canada by the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean throughout her mandate as the 27th Governor-General of Canada in collaboration with the unwavering commitment of her husband, Jean-Daniel Lafond, philosopher-filmmaker and writer. The Foundation, created in 2011, is a national charitable organization that uses a unique model of intervention, based on social change, dialogue, innovation, education, creative and social entrepreneurship, to empower young Canadians across the country who are experiencing exclusion.
