Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) is the first college in Atlantic Canada to sign the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education. The Scarborough Charter was spearheaded by the University of Toronto Scarborough with input and collaboration from students, employees, relevant organizations and Black political and civic leaders. It reflects a shared recognition of the realities of anti-Black racism and provides post-secondary institutions with concrete principles, actions and accountability measures to follow for a more inclusive future.
The Halifax Declaration for the Eradication of Racial Discrimination, created by Black Canadians and benefitting from the wisdom of young Black Canadians, is an expression of some of the key demands, claims and expectations of Black people everywhere, including on the continent of Africa. It is rooted in the three objectives of the International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) proclaimed by the United Nations: Recognition, Justice and Development.
