Celebrate Black Heroes in Canada

Honour Our Black Canadian Leaders with a National Landmark of Statues in Toronto

 

Statues around the world can be beacons of change.

For centuries, Black leaders in Canada have made important contributions to Canadian society. However, their accomplishments have largely gone unrecognized. Please help us celebrate their impact by supporting our initiative to build a national landmark in Toronto to honour our Black heroes. 

Create a lasting legacy of the critical importance of Black lives in Canadian society through stunning bronze sculptures that will endure for over 1000 years.

Through our Black Heroes Statue Collection Project, we tell the stories of excellence and resilience by preserving and commemorating the achievements of our Black leaders. Toronto, Ontario, is the most diverse city in the world and home to the largest Black population in Canada, and this diversity should be reflected in the current collection of statues.

Your donation helps us honour Black Trailblazers and fight against racism. With these statues, we promote unity, mental health, and inspire everyone to reach their full potential. 


At Ògo Tàwa Inc., we are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting greater equity in societies through art. Your donation to the Black Heroes Statue Collection Project will help transform public spaces that positively impact future generations by inspiring them to continue the fight for justice and equality. By challenging systemic racism and promoting inclusivity, we can work towards a more equitable society.

Join Heroes and be a Hero of History 

We're nearing the end of our fundraising campaign to raise $93,000 by the end of March to help bring the project to life. Your contribution can have a lasting impact on Canada's cultural heritage. 

Every dollar and every share counts, so please consider donating and sharing this project with your network today!
