Black excellence celebrated at National Black Canadians Summit in Halifax
Youth delegate Richard Popoola, who’s a year away from becoming a pharmacist, says he has an interest in the profession due to his passion for helping those from diverse backgrounds.He said events like the National Black Canadians Summit offers a safe space to have conversations about how to better improve health care for people of African descent.
“What we’ve seen is a lot of people flying out, coming by sea and by air to connect as a Black diaspora and give thanks, as well as praise each other, for the proud work we do in Black excellence in this country,” he said.One of the issues spotlighted Saturday was the justice system. Halifax police chief Dan Kinsella, along with Preston MLA Angela Simmonds were on-hand as panelists.
“I think we’ve been hearing that for hundreds of years, as Black people, and I think we deserve a little bit better than that.”Global News requested an interview with Chief Kinsella, but he declined.
