This event is hosted by Elevate International and supported by our presenting partner RBC

Background: Honoured to recognize and celebrate Black leadership, with a dedicated focus on Black Women’s leadership and contributions across Canada and in our society.

"Through nearly 4 centuries in what is now Canada, Black women have shaped their own identities while taking decisive actions to advance the survival, preservation, and growth of countless families and communities across the country. As advocates and catalysts for change, Black women have created many important organizations that have advanced equity and human rights." Canadian Heritage

Our Goal: As an organization committed to women's leadership and economic empowerment, we could not imagine a better way to contribute Black History Month than to celebrate black women leaders.

This event is designed to recognize black women leaders and the invaluable contribution their leadership brings in our society.

Uniting ALL members of our society for this historic month to honour the legacy of Black people with an even greater opportunity to recognize and celebrate Black Women’s Leadership.
