Breaking Bread: Stories of Black Communities in Transition

Land Acknowledgement

Written and spoken by Denise Bishop-Earle, resident and community leader of Lawrence Heights.  
We would like to acknowledge the sacred land on which we work, known as Tkaronto and traditionally as Turtle Island, is the unceded and ancestral territories of the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Mississauga’s of the Credit River, the Wendat and many diverse First Nations Inuit and Metis peoples. 
 
We also acknowledge the realities and resistance of the displaced Indigenous peoples of the African continent who through enslavement and subjugation to colonial violence, were forced and coerced into migration to these lands. 

What is Redevelopment?

Sage Bankasingh talks with Cutty Duncan, Director of Strategic Initiatives at North York Community House, and Denise Bishop-Earle, resident and community leader of Lawrence Heights about redevelopment. Dive in with us as we begin to unpack redevelopment in Toronto and how it affects Black communities.
