About this Event
"Black Health and Wellness in Durham Region: The Proclamation," will feature a compelling panel discussion with prominent health and wellness leaders, in sharing their visions for a more equitable future.
In addition to a panel discussion, community members can expect a vibrant and enriching experience, starting with an Opening Drumming Circle led by Negus, offering a rhythmic and cultural beginning to the day.
