Canada’s Black Justice Strategy

Community Engagement Sessions – Hosted By ANSJI

The African Nova Scotian Justice Institute is leading public engagement sessions across Nova Scotia to inform the development of Canada’s Black Justice Strategy (CBJS). This strategy, driven by the Federal Department of Justice and community partners, addresses anti-Black racism, systemic discrimination and the overrepresentation of Black people in Canada’s criminal justice system. The CBJS aims to ensure all people in Canada have access to equal treatment and the equal protection of the law.

These in-person and virtual engagement sessions will take place throughout September, with the purpose of gaining direct input from Black Nova Scotians to shape a Strategy that understands the realities and experiences of Black communities.
