The Black Experience Project Video

The Black Experience Project led by the Environics Institute, in partnership with Ryerson’s Diversity Institute, the United Way of Greater Toronto, and the YMCA of Greater Toronto, is launching a groundbreaking research study focusing on the Black community in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Launched in 2010, the Black Experience Project (BEP) is a seminal research study focused on examining the lived experiences of individuals who self-identify as Black and/or of African heritage living in the Greater Toronto Area, or GTA (the Regions of Toronto, York, Durham, Peel and Halton).

This video documents the personal stories of identity, strengths, challenges and lived experiences of members in the Black Community across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
