OTTAWA Activist Velma Morgan says several Black organizations were denied federal funding through a program designed to help such groups build capacity after the department told them their leadership was not sufficiently Black.
The chair of Operation Black Vote tells The Canadian Press her group received an email from Employment and Social Development Canada this week saying their application did not show “the organization is led and governed by people who self-identify as Black.”
The department sent a second email the next day, saying their applications were not approved because it did not receive “the information required to move forward.”
