ABEEL Foundation
ABEEL FOUNDATION
The Alliance of Black Employee Experience & Leadership (ABEEL) organization emerged from an employee-led initiative within EllisDon Corporation. It was born out of the recognition of a glaring lack of diversity in professional organizations and the limited pathways available to youth as they enter the workforce.
Today, as an independent non-profit organization operated by dedicated individuals, our mission persists. We are unwavering in our commitment to raise awareness and promote educational efforts aimed at eradicating systemic racism within both professional organizations and the communities they serve.

Recognizing trauma often takes decades; and racism is definitely a form of trauma, one that can have a significant effect on the mental health of people [...] It’s good for people of color to share their stories as it’s an important part of healing.

“It is a vital program that gave voices to students that they would otherwise not have. It gave students purpose and empowerment as they work together and strive to find solutions in creating a more equitable society.”

“A great initiative that allows our black students, in particular, a platform to share their voices and lived experience of being black in Canada. This initiative is needed as it gives our Black students an avenue to share, participate, and be heard nationally.”
