About Us
We are a grassroots nursing-led organisation founded in 2020 after members recognised the increasing need to move away from colourblind policy making that dominates Canadian policy ideology while recognising the lack of value placed on those living in Black bodies.
We are a response to
Anti-Black Racism
Anti-Black Racism is a social determinant of health. Anti-Black Racism is a legacy of Canada’s slave having past. Anti-Black Racism is experienced on a daily and on-going way for Black nurse settlers in British Columbia. Curious about those experiences, CACBN actively engages in research; read our open letter to see how we have translated knowledge into tangible action!
Bringing individuals together to advocate for African, Caribbean and Black nurses, and Black communities in British Columbia.
To inspire African, Caribbean and Black nurses to address racism and discrimination and advocate for equity within the healthcare systems in a meaningful way
We are looking for you!
If you are a registered nurse, licensed/registered practical nurse, registered psychiatric nurse, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nursing student, retired nurse, and internationally educated nurse seeking professional recertification in Canada, and you identify as of African descent…YOU BELONG HERE!!!
Our Team.
Our team is dedicated to dismantling anti-Black racism through advocacy, research, and community action. United by a commitment to justice, we work together to amplify Black voices, challenge systemic barriers, and drive meaningful change.
