The countdown is on !
In the months ahead, we will gather to celebrate, connect, and move forward together.
"Moving Forward Together" affirms our collective commitment to progress. It means moving forward as Black communities, grounded in our history, strengths, and shared aspirations; moving forward alongside our allies who choose to stand with us in our ongoing struggle to eradicate racial discrimination; and moving forward in solidarity with all racialized communities—particularly Indigenous communities, whose leadership, presence, and sovereignty are essential in Winnipeg, across Manitoba, and beyond.
This commitment includes the intentional creation of a platform and engagement in meaningful dialogue with Indigenous communities, recognizing our shared experiences of the devastating impacts of colonization and the importance of working together toward justice, healing, and self-determination.
The National Black Canadians Summit is more than a conference — it is a national movement.
Over three days, Black communities and allies from across Canada come together to engage in meaningful dialogue, share powerful stories, and explore solutions to the systemic challenges facing Black communities. Through keynote conversations, workshops, artistic performances, and community gatherings, the National Black Canadians Summit fosters connection, inspiration, and collective action.
At its core, the National Black Canadians Summit is a space where lived experience, research, culture, and policy meet — ensuring that community voices remain central to shaping Canada’s future.
