Community Conversations were held across Durham Region between June 1 - 23, 2022.

Community voices are critical to the successful and relevant creation of a community hub. By collating the feedback acquired via conversations and targeted engagements with Durham’s Black, African and Caribbean communities, the report outlines community accounts of the impact of anti-Black racism on the lived experiences and sense of belonging, as well as the overwhelming value that a Black-led, Black-serving Durham community hub could provide. 

The ensuing report concludes with recommendations from Durham’s Black, African and Caribbean communities on development strategies, including potential goals, the hub’s organizational structure, core values, and the programs and services that could be provided.
