E114 - Current & Critical - Jon Cornish, Calgary Black Chambers
“I’m happy to be working alongside different groups in Calgary to make our city safer, more inclusive and a more equitable space for all.”
Any Calgary Stampeders fan knows Jon Cornish as a record-breaking, award-winning, legendary Canadian Football Hall of Famer. What they might not know is how his connections with the fans and the community at large turned Calgary into more than just the city he played football in. It made Calgary his true home. So, now that he’s off the field, how is he giving back to the city that welcomed him with open arms? The Calgary Black Chambers, an organization of Black professionals and entrepreneurs that want to make Calgary the best place for Black people to live and work in Canada.
Join me as Jon shares the vision for The Calgary Black Chambers, how they celebrate Black success, and the work they are doing to have Black history added to the Alberta curriculum.
