Ultimately, Project Woke desires to identify the gaps in current anti racism policies and provide suggestions that will ensure that these policies will have a positive impact on the lives of Black individuals.

We acknowledge and want to make aware that Black people have historically contributed to this nation and have ties to this country even before slavery. Canada needs to acknowledge their historically racist past as a first step in creating an Anti-racist future.

• Black History in Canada: The erasure of Black People’s Contributions to Canadian Society
• Mental Health in the Black Community and Racism’s Effect on the Mental Health of the Black Community
• Regaining Agency: Exploring the Ways the Black Community Responds to Racism

We chose to explore these topics because we have identified them as an important part of Black people’s lived experience which needs to be further explored and developed in Canada’s anti-racism strategy in order to successfully achieve Canada’s goal and support the development of Black communities.
