About the Black Community Voice Consultation

Following the launch, the City’s Black Empowerment Unit will host 10 in-person consultation sessions across Brampton, beginning in August and continuing until November. Each session will focus on key pillars of community advancement, including economic empowerment, civic engagement, youth development and social and cultural development. Session dates and locations will be announced in the coming weeks.
