Calgary Black Chambers (CBC) is a not-for-profit organization looking to increase Black leadership capacity, and uplift BIPOC culture throughout Calgary by community volunteering and providing scholarships for our future generations.
The CBC forges opportunities for Black professionals to further their professional development and give back to their community.
In 2019, a group of black professionals decided it was time to unite. Lacking an organization with the stated goal of bringing together black people of all descents, Calgary’s black people had limited options to connect outside their respective communities. The founding members of the Calgary Black Chambers help the culture of Calgary flourish through providing a strong, unified voice for our people. With our professional membership, we maintain a strong focus on ethics, merit, and compassion.
After much discussion, we decided to hold the ideal of Mentorship as fundamental to our purpose. Now, we are focused of providing mentorship for the next generation, giving Calgary BIPOC students a leg up, with guidance and aid in-kind to reach their life goals.
