Toronto, Canada BlackNorth Initiative Full time

**About the BlackNorth Initiative**

The BlackNorth Initiative (BNI) is on a mission to close the gaps created by systemic anti-Black racism for Black Canadians—a Canada where systemic anti-Black racism does not exist.

We believe that if corporate Canada can boldly take on the challenge to add gender diversity to Canadian boardrooms and executive suites by declaring policies, setting specific targets, and holding itself accountable, it can do the same work to create better representation for Black Canadians.

Leaders from over 500 Canadian companies, totalling $1.3 trillion in value, including both public and private sector, major banks, insurance companies, law firms, government, and the largest asset managers and institutional investors in the nation are behind us. Together, we are holding major industry leaders accountable to take action and reshape corporate structures that uphold systemic anti-Black racism against Black Canadians.
