The Michaëlle Jean Foundation was born from the actions undertaken during the five-year term of the 27th Governor General of Canada, the Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean, who, with her husband Jean-Daniel Lafond, always believed in the importance of investing in youth, art, creativity and innovation for more citizen participation and social change.
SUMMIT HISTORY
The event draws 880 attendees from outside the province and generates a revenue of $1.8 million for the city of Halifax.
CALL FOR SESSIONS
All individuals, organizations and associations can submit session proposals that will help advance the themes addressed in the Halifax Declaration: justice, recognition, development.
Championed by Black communities nationwide, the Halifax Declaration serves as a manifesto for the elimination of racial discrimination.
A big thank you to everyone who submitted their proposals for the 2024 National Black Canadians Summit. Your dedication and ideas are essential to making this event a success. Stay tuned, as we will soon announce the official program.
