Our Research
At the core of our Research Department are our four Working Groups. The Federation of Black Canadians (FBC) Working Groups provide a forum to exchange information, engage in projects, and develop policy positions on all issues related to FBC’s Pillars. The main purpose of the working groups is to guide the development and implementation of effective strategies that will result in establishing policies and practices at the state and local level to make communities more safe.
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 therefore 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.

Economic Security
Increasing economic security needed to improve standards of living now and in the foreseeable future.
Higher Education
