WHO WE ARE
The Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators (ONABSE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and facilitating the education of all students, African-Canadian students in particular, and establishing a coalition of Afro-Canadian educators and others directly involved in the educational process in Ontario.
ONABSE participates in numerous initiatives across Ontario in support of the African-Canadian community. This includes community outreach and advocacy in collaboration with several community partners, our annual conference, and partnering with stakeholders in education on policy development and implementation.

On August 2, 2023, ONABSE participated in a press conference at Queen's Park calling on all education stakeholders in Ontario to reaffirm their commitments to anti-racism, equity and anti-oppression work in Ontario and simultaneously denounce all efforts to associate this work with bullying and harassment.
