The Federation of Black Canadians’ (FBC) work is at the intersection of economics and policy. As a national advocacy group for Black Canadians, it is crucial to identify relevant economic variables nationally and internationally in order to respond appropriately to the dynamic nature of the needs of the Black communities in Canada.

At the core of the six priority areas FBC seeks to serve, which include higher education, total health, community building, criminal justice reform, economic security and addressing anti-Black racism, it is important to identify and track important economic indicators that can help provide a basis for advocacy and prosperity within the Black Canadians.
