Community Spotlight
On Saturday February 20, 2021 the Council of the Township of Amaranth, in association with the Dufferin County Canadian Black Association (DCCBA), recognized Black History Month by raising the Pan-African flag at the Township Municipal Office.
The Dufferin County Canadian Black Association (DCCBA) is committed to being a true community partner working with other established agencies to bring value to the Dufferin County community.
The impetus for the creation of the Association followed many discussions with community members and stakeholders about the growing Black population in Dufferin County (Blacks including those of African decedent and individuals from the Caribbean and Latin diaspora) and the need to provide a voice, advocacy, a safe space along with educational programs, support services, community outreach and scholarship opportunities benefiting families and businesses within Dufferin County.
The Dufferin County Canadian Black Association is inclusive and welcoming to all who wish to volunteer, provide feedback, attend events and sign up for future programs.
The Township of Amaranth is a proud supporter of the Dufferin County Canadian Black Association and the Township has recently created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Community Advisory Committee.
