In this webinar, the Black Legal Action Centre (BLAC) is joined by a panel of experts to explore the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on Black communities in Ontario. Join us as we discuss the high rates of infection within Black communities, the impacts of the emergency measures, the current workplace vaccine mandates, vaccine efficacy, passports, mandates, and hesitancy, and how anti-Black racism continues to influence the government’s response to COVID. We will touch on your legal rights and responsibilities at work and school, and where you can go for information and help.
