On this week's episode, we were honoured to have Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie join us to discuss First Steps: A community driven report on making Mississauga more equitable for Black communities.

By unpacking the report's findings, we dove into:

  • What is needed to transform policing and the work already being done;
  • Mississauga's plan to develop economic growth in its Black communities by tapping African and Caribbean diasporas;
  • Improving Black political participation and making space for Black representation;
  • Mississauga's focus on improving Black health through housing;
  • Establishing the Black Community Innovation Hub;

... and plenty more.

Shout out to Claudia McKoy, Principal at Upsurgence, who developed First Steps in collaboration with The Black Caucus and numerous community and civic participants as a blueprint for Black economic, political and social advancement in a pluralistic Canada.
