Did you miss PIPSC’s Black History Month webinar?
Historically, Black Canadians faced systemic barriers to integrating into many professional disciplines and sports. Our event screened the short film, “Ice Breakers,” that told the story of Josh Crooks, a leader who was the sole Black hockey player on his team in Atlantic Canada.
Our panelists, Eric Pierre-Louis (police sergeant and former NCAA football player) and Marie Clarke Walker (consultant and former secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress) discussed the many accomplishments Black Canadians can be proud. They provided their unique perspectives on how Black Candians have broken barriers to representation throughout society. As a union, we can learn from these experiences.
