Ottawa tells hundreds of applicants they’re not Black enough for money from the Black community initiative
Apparently, Operation Black Vote Canada isn’t Black enough to get government money.
That’s what Velma Morgan was told in an email this week from Employment and Social Development Canada, which rejected her organization’s application for funding under a program for Black community groups. The reason: the organization either isn’t led by enough Black people or didn’t prove that it is.
Operation Black Vote was one of about 400 organizations the government says it rejected for that reason.
