Building Stronger & Richer Communities
We amplify Black voices, support youth and families, and work toward equity through community programs, advocacy, and healing.
Who We Are
Founded in 2020
Halton Black Voices (HBV) is a community-led collective committed to dismantling anti-Black racism and systemic oppression while building collective power within Halton’s Black communities. Through advocacy, community organizing, youth and family support, and anti-racist policy work, HBV works to create safer, more equitable spaces where Black voices are amplified and affirmed. Grounded in accountability, education, and partnership — including solidarity with Indigenous communities — our work centers Black liberation, empowers youth through the Halton Black Student Union, and drives meaningful change toward a more just and inclusive society.
❋ Wellness + Healing
We hold space for collective Black healing by creating programs and gatherings that support mental wellness, care, and restoration in our community.
❋ Education
We offer inclusive learning spaces grounded in anti-oppression and equity, where people of all ages — young and mature — can learn, grow, and deepen understanding together.
❋ LeadershipWe cultivate leadership in youth and community members, building programs and spaces that drive meaningful change for underserved residents and newcomers.
❋ Community
We build and strengthen the Black community through meaningful programs and community events that educate, empower, and connect people of all ages and abilities. Our spaces are welcoming, safe, and rooted in care, respect, and belonging.
