Executive Director
“At Black Creek Community Health Centre (BCCHC), we recognize the traumatic impacts of systemic racism on the health and wellbeing of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour. We offer these acknowledgments as steps on the path to reconciliation, recognizing that a healing response to racism and the wounds of the past will require honesty, empathy, and action as we strive to achieve equitable health for all.”
Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
“BCCHC acknowledges the ancestral land on which we deliver our services are the traditional territories of the Wendat, Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Metis, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Today, Toronto is home to diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We are grateful to live and work with them, and with newcomers on this territory. Living on this territory makes us all treaty people, including those of us who come as settlers, immigrants or newcomers in this generation or generations past.”
African Ancestral Acknowledgment
“BCCHC acknowledges those who are impacted by the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. 2015-2024 was declared as the International Decade for People of African Descent, with the theme: “Recognition, Justice and Development”. A Second International Decade for People of African Descent was proclaimed on December 17, 2024. This Second International Decade is an opportunity to take concrete actions to confront the legacies of enslavement and colonialism, deliver reparatory justice, and secure the full human rights and freedoms of people of African descent worldwide.”
