Black Excellence Panel - February 7

Join me on Saturday, February 7, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM as we celebrate Black Excellence in Ward 13, Toronto Centre. This event offers residents and youth of our community the opportunity to meet local leaders who operate our city’s vital services, to gather career advice, and to be part of a network with other community members.

In this panel discussion, we've invited experienced and successful members from the public and non-profit sectors. These leaders, who hold executive roles in various industries, will share their stories of success, challenges, and their journeys to becoming who they are. With much more to accomplish, come and be part of the conversation with a chance to ask questions and meet them up close.

Denise Campbell, Deputy City Manager at the City of Toronto will moderate the panel and will include myself and an esteemed panel of Black leaders, including: Nadia Gouveia - Chief Operations Officer, Toronto Community Housing Corporation; Dr. Na-Koshi Lamptey - Medical Officer of Health, City of Toronto; and Nigel Barriff - President of Urban Alliance on Race Relations & Vice President of Elementary Teachers of Toronto.

What: Black Excellence Panel
When: 12:00pm to 3:00pm
Where: Regent Park Centre for Excellence (Second Floor of Regent Park Community Centre, 402 Shuter Street)
