Heart & Vision Awards Concert 2021
The Heart & Vision Awards recognize significant contributions to social justice. In 2021, the awards will be presented to Ekua Asabea Blair and Lawrence Hill who, through their community and literary work, address the roots and contemporary reality of systemic racism in Canada, and offer us all an alternative vision of love and hope. We invite you to celebrate them with us at a special online event on October 18th, 2021 (from 7:00-8:15 pm)! With musical entertainment from Jackie Richardson, Billy Newton Davis, and Julie Michels and a special appearance by Poet Laureate George Elliot Clarke, this is an evening not to be missed!

Donations to the event will support the hiring of Black youth leaders at United Church camps through the Winston and Merle Roach Camp Leadership Fund, and the work of the Massey Center through the Nancy Peters Massey Centre Fund.
