A poster with a dark, warm-toned neutral colour palette advertising a compensated opportunity. The heading reads: “SEEKING BLACK YOUTH FACILITATORS”. The body reads: “Are you …a Black Hamiltonian youth aged 15-21? …interested in facilitating research sessions with other Black youth to combat anti-Black racism in your community?

This is how we build an inclusive and welcoming City. Continue Reading HCCI Calls on HWCDSB to raise Pride Flag
