EVERY CHILD MATTERS

#215

DCCBA stands in support with our Indigenous community as the community re-live and mourn the horrific loss of life of 215 innocent children. This is a horrific reminder of the legacy of residential schools in Canada.

This is traumatic. We are here for you!

The Dufferin County Canadian Black Association was founded on June 3, 2020 by Shelburne resident Alethia O’Hara Stephenson. The impetus for the creation of the Association followed after many discussions with community members, political leaders 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.
